New Brunswick's approach to preparing their students for the future begins at a young age. The schools take advantage of the fact that 2nd graders can "keyboard 60 words a minute", text, use Twitter and Facebook. They provide (anytime, anywhere) accessible learning for their students. They make community service a high school graduation requirement and the teachers stay relevant to keep the students involved and engaged. And the results of these efforts? The schools will produce young men and women prepared for the world and full of knowledge acquired through experiences and applied opportunity.
I really liked the ideas in this video. Some of the ideas were innovative concepts that I have not yet seen in schools. I hope we can take notice and begin to prepare our students for a better future.
Take a look and judge for yourself.
