Can Education Meet the Demands of a New Age?

I came across this video again the other day and it got me thinking.
  • What are we really doing as educators to meet the challenges and demands of the 21st Century?
  • Are we going to be able to implement 21st Century skills into our classrooms in the standards and content driven environment we are working in now?
  • Does the fact that we are still talking about "implementing" and "teaching" these skills in schools show how slow the education system is to embrace change?
  • Will educators want to work in an environment where these skills are emphasized? (more on this in a later post)
