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 today. 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 is based on the best-selling book Literacy is Not Enough: 21st Century Fluencies for the Digital Age.
