Literacy is NOT Enough: 21st Century Fluencies for the Digital Age

Powerful technologies and information systems have caused facts to become obsolete faster, and knowledge built on these facts to become less durable. InfoWhelm is breaking down the boundaries between conventional disciplines, altering the very fabric of our society, and affecting the way we work, play, communicate, view our fellow citizens, how we learn, and what's important for us to know. Yet schools in their structure, operation, curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment models remain largely the same as they have for decades.

In 21st Century Fluencies for the Digital Age, you'll learn why it's important that students develop essential 21st-century fluency skills to operate in the new living, working, and learning environments of the 21st century. More importantly, you'll learn how these skills can be taught in a structured manner at every grade level and in every subject area, and be the responsibility of every teacher throughout the entire school experience. This is our most requested keynote and workshop and is based on the upcoming book Literacy is Not Enough: 21st Century Fluencies for the Digital Age.

Living on the Future Edge: The Age of Disruptive Innovation

In today's digital world, we are witnessing the evolution of an incredible and turbulent new age. It's the age of disruptive innovation—an age where every part of society is experiencing a complete upheaval due to the chronic and pervasive nature of change. Our schools, like our businesses, must constantly adapt to such conditions to remain active in the market.

The Age of Disruptive Innovation examines how each new innovation disrupts and reshuffles, even replaces an entire market segment. It also looks at the changing nature of the workforce and the rise of the creative class. It identifies the critical 21st-century skills that are not being addressed by our current educational model, and outlines how we can effectively engage learners so that they can perform exceptionally well on exams, while simultaneously learning the critical 21st-century fluencies needed to excel in both school and life.

This presentation, based on our book, Living on the Future Edge: Windows on Tomorrow provides a sense of how education can come to realize the long-term benefits of adapting to our current state of societal progress, and how our students will ultimately benefit.
