From DSC:
With potential job titles like Transhumanist consultant, Digital archaeologist, Augmented reality architect, Terabyter (lifelogger), and others…makes you wonder what’s the best way to educate today’s students. On the top of my list:
- Be prepared for change; be flexible and adaptable
- Learn how you best learn — then be prepared to use, tweak, and build on those strategies throughout your lifetime
- Constantly take pulse checks on what’s happening in the world around you — technologically, politically, demographically, etc.
- Know where to go for information
- “Chance favors the prepared/connected mind” <– a combination of quotes I’ve heard and that I agree with; point is to be constantly building your personal learning networks (PLN’s) and to periodically peer out into the future to see what’s coming down the pike
- See if you can get a hold of your own learning stats/analytics to ascertain strengths, weaknesses, passions, interests
