"This infographic tells the big story of KnowledgeWorks’ third forecast on the future of learning, Recombinant Education: Regenerating the Future of Learning. Comprised of twelve key insights with accompanying graphics, it points the way toward a diverse learning ecosystem in which learning adapts to each child instead of each child trying to adapt to school."
Beth Dichter's insight:

The 14 page document states "This forecast previews five disruptions that will reshape learning over the next decade. Responding to them with creativity rather than fear will be critical to preparing all learners for an uncertain future."

We are told that we should be personalizing instruction, but how do we know that this is happening? This post explores this dilemna and provides an example rubric that looks at issues of quality control as well as appearance and structure. As teachers we are aware that issues of accuracy and understanding are critical. Yet our tasks are shifting, and Gleeson also brings up ten questions that we should consider that include: * Are we expecting students to provide evidence for every fact they state in a report (and are we checking them)? * Are we putting more emphasis on presentation and note enough on the content? * Do our assessment rubrics give enough credit for the accuracy, depth and understanding of the information or are these factors downplayed at the expense of grammar, text structure, presentation and checklist of what requirements were met? *Do we check for understanding of the references they use to research their topic? An additional six questions are raised in the post. This post may raise more questions that it answers, but it draws attention to issues that we are facing in our classroom.
