Shift Happens

Shift Happens was first presented online in 2006 and has been remade all the way through version 6.0 now. The facts in the various videos echo a quote that we use in our opening presentation:

"To be a teacher is to be a prophet, because you are not preparing kids for the world you grew up in nor are you preparing kids for the world today. You are preparing kids for a world you cannot imagine." ~ Gordon Brown, MIT Dean of Engineering.

So much of the things that our students will need to know when they are in the job market, when they are changing jobs for the umpteenth time are things that we don't know, that we've never heard of, that we never imagined would exist.

So I guess we might as well teach them a few skills that could apply to just about anything that thy might choose to do.
