NDLI: Communicative technology and the emerging global curriculum

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Taylor, Robert P.
Abstract	In the 1910 rural community where my father was growing up, his teachers did not train him to become the pilot and aviation pioneer he later became. Airplanes had barely been invented and few if any teachers probably had any idea what skills one might need to fly them. Their curriculum certainly didn't reflect the world shrinking changes that aviation was about to bring. Similarly, in the 1940 rural community where I was growing up, my teachers did not train me to become the pioneer in computing and education which I later became. Computers were virtually unheard of by teachers and they certainly had no idea what thinking skills would be necessary for designing software. And, once again, the curriculum didn't reflect the changes that computers were about to launch.
