This document discusses the impact of technology on education. It contains quotes and statistics about how technology is changing the nature of jobs and skills needed for students. It argues that schools need to prepare students for an uncertain future by teaching them critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and citizenship using technology as a tool rather than an event. The future will be defined by our ability to learn, unlearn and relearn continuously.
