"We don't even know...

“…what skills may be needed in the years ahead. That is why we must train our young people in the fundamental fields of knowledge, and equip them to understand and cope with change. That is why we must give them the critical qualities of mind and durable qualities of character that will serve them in circumstances we cannot now even predict”
—John Gardner (President, Carnigie Corporation, 1955-67)

“In this new media age, the ability to negotiate and evaluate information online, to recognize manipulation and propaganda and to assimilate ethical values is becoming as basic to education as reading and writing. The children who truly will be left behind in the evolving digital culture are those who fail to bridge the participation gap.
Our challenge is to develop these educational forces opening up our classrooms to the learning in which children now engage in largely outside of school.”
—Jonathan Fanton (President MacArthur Foundation 2007)
