New Global Students Will Have The F.A.C.T.S Maya Frost’s book The New Global Student has been such an interesting and inspiring read. Maya uses the mnemonic FACTS to describe the 5 key qualities that “…will guarantee students will be successful in whatever they choose to do in the wild and wooly world of global work. In addition to being able to read, write, speak, calculate, and analyze proficiently, bold future leaders share the following characteristics.” Are we helping to create or hindering the development of flexible, aware, curious, trustworthy, and self-directed students?

A Tale of "Two Teachers" --Teaching and Technology "...collect information from other sources, and borrow, and steal, and put it together and reshape it. Isn’t that a skill that I want them to have?" "I feel at though I am fighting the good fight. I am trying to hang on to what I think is the most important part of what I do. But, my time is over. This is too much for me. It’s not the educational arena I entered into." Two teachers dealing with the cultural changes to the educational landscape caused by technology. Which one describes you?
