Living on the Future Edge:
Thinking About Tomorrow Today

Ian Jukes

By carefully examining the significance of several global exponential trends, this presentation profoundly challenges your fundamental assumptions about the world in which we live and the future that awaits us. What effect will these trends have on our children, our learning institutions, the nature of teaching and learning, and even our definition of intelligence? How can schools prepare students for this ever-changing world? How do we effectively engage learners so that they can not only perform exceptionally well, but also simultaneously learn the critical twenty-first century literacies needed to excel in both school and life? Be prepared to have many of your present assumptions about education challenged!
