21st Century Workforce Readiness• “Because everything is becoming integrated and
interrelated, youth's abilities for expansive thinking and public problem solving will dramatically increase,”
• “Youth are learning to focus on ‘what matters most,’ with an emphasis on leveraging social media as one's personal learning network.
• Purposeful collaborative actions will leverage shared knowledge—if we all share what we know, we'll all have access to all our knowledge.
Quoted: Frank Odasz, a consultant and speaker on 21st century workforce readiness
21st Century Workforce Readiness• Peer-evaluated, crowd-accelerated innovation will
be recognized as a new dynamic for our global hologram of shared imagination.
• Digital reputations will be judged by the level of leveraged meaningful activities one leads, and is directly involved in advocacy for. Just-in-time,
• Inquiry-based learning dynamics will evolve along with recognition that the best innovations can be globally disseminated to billions in a day's time.”
