3. http://inside.isb.ac.th/rm228/ Jobs of the Future When you were beginning high school, what jobs did you think might be available to you when you left? or… How the heck can we know anyway?
13. Princeton economist Alan Binder: http://inside.isb.ac.th/rm228/ “In the future, howwe educate our children may prove to be more important than howmuch we educate them.”
14. Right brain http://inside.isb.ac.th/rm228/ “We need to focus education on constantly developing our students’ right brain skills- such as forging relationships rather than executing transactions, tackling novel challenges instead of solving routine problems, and synthesizing the big picture rather than analysing a single component.”
19. Connect(Synthesis) http://inside.isb.ac.th/rm228/ How can this connect to my study? How can I use this as a lens as I work? Challenge (Synthesis) How can I create something unique to demonstrate my thinking? How can I best communicate this to others?
30. How can this look? A Museum (interactive) Written connection Presentation - oral Rubric for assessment by all
31. So…what will the new Jobs of the Future require? http://inside.isb.ac.th/rm228/ Knowledge Ideas Synthesise knowledge Imagination Create something totally new

1. Groups of 3-4 Share-fast! + Mine2. Long and short of it?? Impossible to answer!
…Therefore we cannot educate students for future occupations! Heard from a number of educatorsHowever…we CAN throw some light on the subject…*Let me take you on a thinking journey…!
1. Book His so-called SINGULARITY occurs as A.I. artificial intell. surpasses humans as the smartest & capable life forms on earth. Postbiological humans!2.Logarithmic graphs: Memory, processing speed, size, cost, availability, ease of use, information available, etc. is growing exponentially! Straight up!!By 2045 $1000 will buy us a computer a billion times more intelligent than every human being combined!!3. The graphs show how as a result Gene therapy research is enhanced by this growth – effects are that we will be able to change our genetic makeup so we don’t e.g. inherit diseases, deformities, can enhance our physical and/or neural capacity, can change our physical appearance, etc.In the same manner, nanotechnology mini robots are being developed which will be able to/and already can! be injected into our circulatory system and other body systems to: e.g kill renegade cells, e.g. alzheimer’s cure near, repair and rebuild whole body organs. Boy, could I use a new inner ear and new eyes! Let alone being able to grow animal food without using an animal! Possibilities for feeding the world?3. Because we will have the possibility of nanomachines in our brain, we will be able to upload information whenever we want and need!! Wireless tech at it’s best!Virtual reality will become so advanced that it will be indistinguishable from real reality.He says people may well be spending much of their time in full immersion virtual reality so art and music will take on totally new meaning. Further, when computers help us as he says, “wake up” the universe so it becomes a giant supercomputer, we will be able to communicate with the greater knowledge sources of the universe! and music and art will take on again, an entirely different meaning as a result!??? Incredible thoughts for us right here and now!
1. The World is Flat:ideas-based jobs are the middle jobs of the future2. As he talks about global flatness being outsourcing to the best & cheapest companies, groups, or even individuals working from their studios or homes in the remotest places on the world, he also makes a huge case for those same people using ideas to create unique goods that can be available and create incomes…3. So one’s security cannot be threatened he invents the new definition of untouchables’. THAT’S how unique many of the new middle jobs of the future will need to be!
The stuff of comic books, science fiction and now… fantasy! Harry Potter, Matrix, etc.
From” The World is Flat”.When God Was a Woman by Merlin Stone – controversially explains how amongst other things, the invention of machines like the printing press led MAN-kind’s wish for control from an all-embracing, more esthetic & female-oriented governed society to becoming more left-brain oriented with linear-thinking & organisation powerful players in the world as we’ve known-it until more recently when we are aware that the future rests with right brain development alongside the functions of left-brain.
Thomas Freidman
Freidman goes further…What in fact ARE we learning now and WHY?How are we going about teaching our curric?Do we challenge ourselves enough about this?Then I read this article by Shari T…
Only handout for you!Find an object that will connect with your unit of workAllow kids to observe deeply AND ask their own questions
Exploration – SS
Then I began to think of TFU’s Multiple Entry Points to a study…
…where students recognise their own unique interest and have an opportunity to formulate their own study…sometimes fusing a couple of entry points in the process…I will show you a few of them now:
