Strategic Vision vs. Plan Vision: Guide to the future with annual or biennium planson how to get to target goals. Plan: Three to five year prescriptive plan to reach targetedgoals.8 9. Strategic Vision Definition: The process requires the systematic creation of visions of a desirable future for an organization or an individual. Typically, this procedure starts with a review of past events and the current situation, moves on to envision desirable futures, and concludes with the identification of specific ways to move toward the desired future. A visioning procedure often prepares the way for more formal goal setting and planning. World Future Society, 20129 10. A Look into the Future Creating the Future Vision for Learning 11.

The Future POWER INDUSTRY Manufacturing power generation units the size of ac units willgo into full production. Installation crews will begin to work around the clock. The entire national grid will need to be taken down (a 20 year project). Much of it will be recycled and the recycling process alone will employ many thousands of people. Micro-grid operations will open in every community requiring a new breed of engineers, managers, and regulators.15 16. The Future AUTO TRANSPORTATION GOING DRIVERLESS The first wave of driverless vehicles will be luxury vehicles that allow you to kick back,listen to music, have a cup of coffee, stop wherever you need to along the way, stay productive in transit with connections to the Internet, make phone calls, and even watch a movie or two, for substantially less than the cost of todays limos. Driverless technology will initially require a driver, but it will quickly creep into everyday use much as airbags did. First as an expensive option for luxury cars, but eventually it will become a safety feature stipulated by the government. The greatest benefits of this kind of automation wont be realized until the drivers hands are off the wheel. With over 2 million people involved in car accidents every year in the U.S., it wont take long for legislators to be convinced that driverless cars are a substantially safer and more effective option.16 17. The Future AUTO TRANSPORTATION GOING DRIVERLESS Delivery dispatchers Traffic monitoring systems, although automated, will require amanagement team. Automated traffic designers, architects, and engineers Driverless ride experience people. Driverless operating system engineers. Emergency crews for when things go wrong.17 18. The Future: BOTS Jobs Going Away Fishing bots will replace fishermen. Mining bots will replace miners. Ag bots will replace farmers. Inspection bots will replace human inspectors. Warrior drones will replace soldiers. Robots can pick up building material coming out of the 3D printer and begin building a house with it. New Jobs Created Robot designers, engineers, repairmen. Robot dispatchers. Robot therapists. Robot trainers. Robot fashion designers.18 19. The Future: Shopping ON DEMAND SHOPPING! 3-D PRINTER IN EVERY HOME New Jobs Created * 3D printer design, engineering, and manufacturing * 3D printer repairmen will be in big demand * Product designers, stylists, and engineers for 3D printers 3D printer Ink sellers19 20. Some Thoughts . Certainly theres a downside to all this. The more technology we rely on, the more breaking points well have in our lives. Driverless drones can deliver people. These people can deliver bombs or illicit drugs as easilyas pizza. Robots that can build building can also destroy buildings. All of this technology could make us fat, dumb, and lazy, and the problems we thought wewere solving become far more complicated. We are not well-equipped culturally and emotionally to have this much technology enteringinto our lives. There will be backlashes, destroy the robots or damn the driverless car campaigns with proposed legislation attempting to limit its influence.Thomas Frey 20 21. Sample of 21st Century Skills and Futurists Living on the Future Edge: Windows on Tomorrow. (2010) 21Ian Jukes, Ted McCain, Lee Crockett Teaching Digital Natives: Partnering For Real Learning. (2010) Marc Prensky The Singular Is Near (2005) Ray Kurzweil The World Future Society, www.wfs.org The Partnership for 21st Century Skills, www.p21.org 22. 21st Century Fluencies & P21 Definitions (or, what will students need to be able to do in the latter 21st Century) Solution Fluency: This is about whole-brain thinking creativity and problem-solving skills applied in real time. Solution fluency is at the core of just-in-time learning. Creativity Fluency: The process by which artistic proficiency adds meaning through design, art, and storytelling. It is no longer enough to have functional product. Creative fluency extends beyond visual creative skills to using the imagination to create stories, and to create products which tell stories. Collaboration Fluency: The teamworking proficiency that has reached the subconscious ability to work cooperatively with virtual and real partners in an online environment to create original digital products. Media Fluency: There are two components to media fluency. The first component is the ability to look analytically at any communication media to interpret the real message, determine how the chosen media is being used to shape thinking, and evaluate the efficacy of the message. The second component is the ability to create and publish original digital products, matching the media to the intended message by determining the most appropriate and effective media for that message. Information Fluency: There are two parts to information fluency. Being able to access raw information from the most appropriate high-tech and low-tech sources is the first part. This may be from a textbook, but may just as easily be a cell phone, wiki, social network, other digital or nontraditional source. Secondly, information fluency is the ability to critically evaluate the data. Information fluency is also the ability to determine bias in the information we retrieve, assessing the accuracy of the data by analyzing the methodology of how it was gathered and crossreferencing it to multiple sources that verify and support the specific information that is found.
