Ideas that could change the world

The future is a scary but exciting place... educators have a responsibility to become proactive in our curriculum. Cutting edge ideas need to be in our classrooms... I write this as the students who should be in my classroom are taking standardized tests... argh!!!

Sure information technology is an important aspect of society and culture, but I am convinced that K-12 curriculum must adopt a more broad view of technology and the nature of technology and emerging technology trends need to part of what we teach.

The BBC recently added some "ideas that could change the world" to their web site... robotics... biotechnology... seem like interesting an important ideas for middle school students to understand.
