Today was the first pyramid wide meeting about next year’s digital transformation initiative. It was a day talking about the why. The information age is on the way out. A computer can now beat anyone in Jeopardy. Google can tell me the area of any circle. Anyone who is paid to follow directions and doesn’t need to think will eventually be outsourced to another country with cheaper labor or a machine.
We need students to think and solve problems. We need students who can take initiative and innovate. We need students who are metacognitive and can manage their own learning.
The first step? Get a team on board and empower them to make decision. This is a movement and movements need to grow.
