The challenge, created by the present exponential acceleration in technology, facing today's educators is enormous. This video, titled Did you know? Shift Happens 2.0 is four years old now. It is important to remember that some technologies and trends have doubled in speed, size or efficiency two or three times since this video was first made. Smart phones like the iPhone and the Android didn't exist. Since then Facebook, which was hardly on the radar screen in 2006 has grown to over 500,000,000 users. Created by Scott McLeod and Karl Fisch for a group of 150 high school educators, it was intended to illustrate a future of technology moving into hyper drive, and the difficulties of preparing students for that 21st century world.
Did you know? Shift Happens 2.0 is another of the videos highlighted in the Singularity Hub's list of 12 videos that will help you love the future.
