As we head into another school year, we are transitioning from the Industrial Age to the Knowledge Society. And we have to learn to move from face-to-face teaching to incorporating blended and online learning. So now in 2013 we are all feeling a bit uneasy and uncertain about our society, work, and future.
In a recent LERN course about teaching online a teacher put it poetically:
"I get all nervous. I see what can be done and I see what we're still doing
on the constant paper and pencil stuff.
I just get all nervous. I got to learn how to do a really eye-popping power
point and Prezi and other things.
I get all nervous."
A new model of education will be created by 2020. Til then, we all feel this way.
