The world is rapidly changing. Yet in our classrooms, our textbooks and curricula are still living in the past – with knowledge that is 20-25 years old. But the child studying in the classroom today will live in the world of tomorrow. Do you remember how the world looked like 25 years ago? Before Google, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Internet, computers and smartphones? There is so much around us today that was simply unimaginable 25 years ago. And this holds true for the future as well. We can’t imagine what the world will be like in the next 25 years. But we do know it is a challenge that we have to prepare today’s children for that unknown future.
It’s not just that the technology is changing rapidly. The definition of success too is changing.
Around 10 years ago I read in Forbes magazine that the person who would become the most successful person 25 years from now hasn’t even been born yet. And the profession he will choose and the work that he’ll do to become the world’s most successful person doesn’t even exist yet. This is true. The founders of Google, Facebook, Twitter, Oyo, Flipkart, Paytm, LinkedIn, Amazon, WhatsApp and other revolutionary creations were all aged around 25 years. But 20 years ago who would have believed that Twitter, Facebook and Amazon would lead to an Information Revolution and transform the way the world conducts its business?

Sir, What you have done to improve DSSSB. We residents of Delhi also want Govt job
ReplyDeleteI have approached many times and also mailed to all Delhi Ministers but no gain. I have filled a vacancy of post code 15/12 through DSSSB in 2012. Its first tier exam was conducted in 2015 and result came in 2016 and now I am just waiting for 2nd tier exam. I filled grievance against it at Delhi govt site and also written to PM but no improvement I found. Now DSSSB released a fresh notification on its website for a exam of some another post that was notified in 2007. It is taking exam after 10 years and I think it will give result next 10 years, then what will be the carrier of candidates anyone can easily guess.

We often hear that our current students will work in jobs that don’t exist right now.
ReplyDeleteOur job is not to prepare students for something.Our job is to help students prepare themselves for anything.
According to Moore’s Law, technological developments tend to double every six months.
Things that sounded like science fiction a generation ago are now so commonplace we take them for granted. We are in an era of rapid changes in social, technological, and economic systems.
We live in an era where robotics and artificial intelligence will replace many of our current jobs. Global connectivity will continue to allow organizations to outsource talents to other countries.
We know that school can be busy. Materials can be scarce. The creative process can seem confusing, especially when you have a tight curriculum map.
So creativity becomes a side project, an enrichment activity you get to when you have time for it. But the thing is, there’s never enough time.
We believe that every student has a story.
We recognize that every student is talented.
We want to see teachers unleash the creative potential in all of their students so that kids can be makers, artists, experimenters, designers, scientists & engineers.
We believe that creative thinking is as vital as math or reading or writing. Something happens in students when they define themselves as makers and inventors and creators.
I am on a mission to empower students with problem solving skills & explore their true potentials.For this,I founded the WOW SKOOL to transform students into bastions of creativity and wonder.
I share my learning through 'Design Thinking Workshops'. I have empowered students, with such workshops, across the country and found that they love the approach of learning by doing & solving problems with multiple methodologies.
