Stephen Mahaley wrote in part: " I agree with the general notion of
"authenticity" in educational content, presentation, and evaluation, and
I think we need to consider the larger issues of who our students are,
and what skills will be important for them as technology continues to
develop."
As opposed to the hard skills of the past, the ability to do very specific
physical things, our students of the future will need soft skills and
competencies: e.g., interpersonal abilities, adaptibility, flexibility, can learn
quickly, can visualize, can conceptualize, can translate, can relate,
understands action learning and strategic partnering, etc.
