100 Years and an Unchanged System

A lot has changed over the last 100 years (here are some interesting facts). “We’ve gone from a typewriter to a touch screen. From a switchboard to a smartphone. From silent film to virtual reality. But American high schools have remained frozen in time” (USA Today).


Think about it…  


Cars 

Telephones


However, not much has changed in the classroom 

I’ve been following XQ Super School and loved this short video clip that was part of their XQ Live event on September 8, 2017.  If you haven’t head of the XQ Super School Project, they are a “community of people mobilizing America to reimagine high school” and preparing students for success in college, career, and life (XQ Super School).  

Check out the Knowledge Modules from XQ Super School – lots of good info here! I’m still working my way through the pdfs.
