About the 2020 Forecast - 2020 Forecast: Creating the Future of Learning
This 2020 Forecast is a tool for thinking about, preparing for, and shaping the future. It outlines key forces of change that will shape the landscape of learning over the next decade. The forecast does not predict what will happen, but rather serves as a guide to the as-yet-unwritten future. It is designed to help you see connections among things that once seemed unrelated and to help you consider the changes and challenges that you are facing today within the context of wider patterns of change.
Ultimately, the 2020 Forecast aims to provoke your own thinking about what role you want to play in creating the future of learning.

Many commonalities are emerging in these NetGen videos -- one of which is the importance of harnessing the power of mobiles in learning. Whether or not you agree or feel that the students are being "whiney" (as many educators often think with such videos) -- there is a point to be made.
I have particularly noticed how kids keep gravitating to the itouch and iphone as useful in school - it has reappeared over and over in these student videos. They were given free reign to picture improvements in THEIR education based upon the research of their generation and they keep coming back here.
It has me thinking -- no conclusions yet, but really, they are teaching me.

A happy present
My mother is a musical person. She sings, plays the piano on occasion and at one time played guitar. We have some old photos of her playing her guitar with a group. Not long after my parents were married, and my father was in college at NC State, they had very little money, the GI bill only paid for so much. The story goes that she got home one day, the instrument was gone, when asked, my father told her it was sold, and that was it. She was upset; this has been a bit of a sore spot between them for the past 60 or so years.
When I was young, this was not talked about. When we stated to look at pictures, and saw the guitar she would not really say much about it. When my brother or I tried to learn how to play the guitar, we never really thought about asking her for help, nor did she offer any. My parents are in the process of selling their house, and moving to Virginia. She is resolute about bringing her piano. Some have tried to talk her out of it, but she IS taking it with them.
This Sunday, while eating breakfast, I showed her some of my pictures, which included some of my mandolin. She looked at it and mentioned that she really wished that she still had a guitar. I didn’t think much about it, but had noticed an add for a store with a name brand guitar for $65. Later, Sally and I were driving around and discussed this, and we decided, what the heck, mother’s day is coming up, let’s get her a guitar. So we did.
We really did not know what the reaction to this present would be, if the resentment was so deep it would cause issues or not. Her reaction was a bit unexpected, she shed tears of joy. I don’t really remember her doing this before, even at weddings. My father was also pleased. I hope that she does remember how to play, and re-learns what she could do in the past.
I also warned her she has about three weeks until I come back with my mandolin and we are to play some music together.

More Tuition-Free Education Courses for Teachers
In a recent post about Tuition-Free Education Courses for Teachers, I pointed out a number of online education courses that are free to self-learners around the world. Most of these courses are provided through well-known colleges and universities. While these courses are an excellent way to broaden your knowledge of specific topics, they aren’t the only sources of free teacher education on the web. There are many other organizations that provide tuition-free education courses to teachers. A few more worth checking out include:
