So here are Time’s recommendations:
1. Teach kids more about the world.
2. Think outside the box.
3. Become smarter about new sources of information.
4. Develop good people skills. (Communicate, collaborate)
We can do that.

We would all be well-advised to read or re-read one of Seymour Papert’s books.
Geez….. You mean we’ve made it to the 20th! We’re not as far behind as I thought! 😉
Will,
I can not beleive how appropriate your timing is!!! I am teaching a course tomorrow called “Walking the Walk” all about these skills! What way to motivate and start the class! I’m so happy!!
