Trends Shaping Cirriculum

ET

Barseghian, T. (2011, February 4). Three trends that will shape the future of curriculum. In MindShift. Retrieved from http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2011/02/three-trends-that-will-shape-the-future-of-curriculum/

The three trends that are discussed are: Digital Delivery, Interest-Driven, and Skills 2.0. These are all trends and concepts that have been written about multiple times but the greatest contribution this article makes is the number of examples that are supplied. Each section receives equal focus in terms of giving readers additional materials and links to pursue. The Digital Delivery section offers the greatest amount of examples giving links to multiple collaborative sites schools have created to “allow educators and students to add, edit, and change the order of all the information on those sites according to their own needs.” The author ends the article by offering their ideas of what these changes in trends will mean for not just students, but the educational system at large. I really feel that the number of examples and additional sources to pursue is a fantastic addition to this article. It is these contributions that keep the article from becoming just another article talking about the growth of technology in schools.
