A few years ago I was able to hear an oracle speak, and it was amazing. He talked chatbots, which are now everywhere, to CRISPR and how we will be able to edit our own DNA. It was fascinating.
While he painted a big picture of the world, he brought it down to us, how this new world impacts educators.
At one point he mentions how a cancer researcher, Kevin Jones, stays sharp by holding on to two super important values, humility, and curiosity. These two values really made me think, mostly because what he said about research didn't make sense to me.
Leave the science out of it for a second, could we teach the kids these two values which empowers the researcher to do great work? Absolutely. That was the whole purpose of this talk, see the future and empower those around you to do great things.
The whole time Tom Vander Ark spoke he talked about these big ideas while making them approachable to even our youngest learners.
