This list about what the future of work will look like rings true with me - to be able to create learning experiences for our students that will assist them to develop this new world is a challenge when many of our patterns are still looking at the present and past ways of working. It is changing, but I am not sure that it is changing fast enough to take advantage of the opportunities. Vocational learners today need skills to create this future, not just skills to exist in the world as it is now.

"I'm in the middle of posting our "23 Theses" about the future of work over at the Future Tense blog, so I thought I'd put them up here as well.

I'm doing three installments over there (click here for Part One, and here for Part Two - but the same stuff is right here in this post).

I thought I'd just put the whole thing up here - and now. Charlie and I actually composed these ideas a couple of years ago, and we're enjoying the fact that they still have plenty of meaning. We're also finding, however, that the future is arriving a bit slower than we thought it would (though that's really no surprise)."
