Did You Know? 2.0

We are currently preparing students for jobs and technologies that don’t yet exist . . .
in order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet.

This incredible video is a crash course in understanding how technology affects young people’s lives and development today. Originally a PowerPoint presentation for a 2006 Arapahoe High School faculty meeting in Centennial, Colorado, it went viral last year, getting over 5 million views in 5 months. The number has grown to 10 million+ since then.

This new version is eight minutes of sheer information design genius, bringing to life what would otherwise be a very dry lecture on technology, education and economics.

It’s engaging, frightening and surprising all at once. Well worth the eight minutes.

    Thank you for posting BB. Changes in education establishments are forthcoming. The Innovation Design trend coming out of schools like the Illinois Institute of Technology sure seem like a good way to go.
