Did You Know?

Did you know that the top 10 in-demand jobs in 2010 did not exist in 2004? Did you know that the US Department of Labor estimates that today's learner will have 10-14 jobs by the age of 38? Did you know that we are now preparing students for jobs that don't yet exist and will use technologies that haven't yet been invented, in order to solve problems we don't even know are problems yet?

The following video, Did You Know?, was created by high school technology teacher Karl Fisch, and modified by Scott McLeod, an associate professor at Iowa State.

This adaptation of the original presentation was created by Sony BMG Music Entertainment and presented by Richard Sanders, President of Sony BMG International, last spring, to 150 of the company's top executives gathered in Rome for Sony BMG's annual Global Management Meeting.

"As part of Sony BMG's mission to improve the music experience for consumers living in 'exponential times' the video illustrates the demand for change," Fisch wrote on his blog.
