The 21st Century Classroom: Ideals and Goals (Bay room)
"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." -Alvin Toffler The core skill for future-proofing is learning itself, but our schools never seem to teach us how to learn, focussing instead entrely on data that are increasingly obsolete before their delivery.

Is Information Pollution Contaminating Our World? (Bay room)
Between listservs, web pages, usenet, AM radio, international shortwave radio (including those "Voice of America" broadcasts we're not supposed to listen to inside the US), "utility" transmissions including Weather radio, newspapers from around the world, hobby publications and newsletters, broadcast TV, cable TV, satellite TV, satellite radio, "zines," actual magazines, wall posters and the latest graffiti on the dumpster out back, we are immersed in information. Is too much available? Is too much shoved at us? Who benefits, and who loses? Patrick W McKinnion, Adina Sobo, Janet Tait, Brad Tyler
