Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Tag: 21st Century Literacy, Global Competitiveness, TechnologyFred Deutsch @ 5:06 pm

RinbowThe world of education is changing.  From Watertown High School’s technology plan, to our state and school district’s progressively increasing focus on ”21st Century Literacy Skills,” it’s amazing to see how rapidly things are moving.  New 21st century competencies such as information and technology skills, critical thinking skills, global awareness, collaboration skills, and civic and economic literacy will more and more become a standard part of our children’s educational foundation.When I think about how swiftly the winds of change are impacting the world of education, I’m reminded of the tornado from the movie, “The Wizard of Oz” that swept little Dorothy and Toto away to the other side of the rainbow, as well as her famous line, “Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.”
