1.0 --- 2.0 shift


Education/school/classroom 1.0 is based on an educational philosophy born in the Industrial Revolution of the late 1800s whereas education/school/classroom 2.0 is based on an educational philosophy born in the last 20 years. As with all generational movements the former must give way to the next. The wisdom of the former is letting go of entrenched interests and providing the next with their finest tools. The wisdom of the next is to acknowledge and accept the finest tools while introducing revolutionary new tools. This transition should take place as part of succession planning and to avoid the intergenerational conflict that can easily derail integration literacy and implementing of the standards.
