= = =BIG SHIFT #2 - Many, Many Teachers, and 24/7 Learning =  = = "I am the giver of knowledge... you are the empty vessel. Listen to my wisdom!"

This is the original concept of education, based on the industrial age philosophy of teaching... the creation of good little workers. It is fundamentally flawed in the modern technological age, as it assumes the teacher is the holder of knowledge and the student is to learn facts from the teacher.

With the development of Web 2.0, we are all becoming contributors to the collection and production of knowledge, and as such the growth of knowledge in the next 5 years will be greater than the previous several thousand years combined.

With all of these facts at our finger tips at all times, the need for a teacher to have the answers is reduced, because the world is now full of teachers.
