"Living on the Future Edge" challenges school leaders to rethink longstanding paradigms and transform pedagogy for tomorrow's learners. Apple Computer, Inc. co-founder Steve Wozniak's foreword underscores the overwhelming need to adjust traditional instruction to fit today's high-tech world. The book explores this new landscape and offers a compelling vision for the future through the lens of four exponential trends that educators cannot ignore: (1) Moore's Law--processing power and speed multiply exponentially every year; (2) Photonics--bandwidth is dramatically increasing; (3) The Internet revolution continues to evolve; and (4) We are living in an age of Infowhelm. Contents include: (1) The Paradigm; (2) Assessing Your Paradigm; (3) Technology of Change; (4) Mounting Paradigm Pressure; (5) Living Life Like a Quarterback; (6) Moore's Law; (7) Photonics; (8) Internet; (9) InfoWhelm; (10)Disruptive Technology; (11) Time for Education to Catch Up; (12) Education in The Future; (13) New Skills for a New World; (14) New Roles for Educators; (15) What Does the Future Hold?; (16) Another Look at the Future; and (17) The Need for Vision.
