We are teaching students how to use tools and technologies for careers and questions that have not been invented yet. . . what does that mean?
Our job is to teach students HOW to think, not WHAT to think!
Make connections, thinking through issues and solving problems worth solving.
Googling things and creating presentations using PowerPoint/Keynote are not developing problem solving skills. Can we have students research a problem in our society and look at how the problem affected our culture in the past? Can they present ideas of how we could have responded differently. Can they apply different classes to problem solve.
