I'm really glad one of my life's mottos is to learn something new everyday. Hmmmm, is that archaic as well, should it be that I need to learn multiple new things everyday just to keep up with my yaya baby and the group of students she represents?

What will she need to know in 2028?
My first yaya baby girl was born 27 July 2010. As I think about my journey as an educator, I can't help but wonder what will she need to know when she gets ready to graduate high school. What careers will be in demand? What new careers will be out there? Will there be a revolution in education that looks at the individual and not the standard? I hope I will still be in education when she gets to that stage in her life. What will I need to know to keep pace? The technology I grew up with is archaic at best. I learned about computers on a TI99. Our space program, at that time was running on something like 167kb. Our most basic cell phone now runs on at least 2gb. Working on my masters I now have new verbs: googling, twittering, iming, texting.
