Catching the Knowledge Wave

I really got into this excellent presentation from Jane Gilbert: Catching the Knowledge Wave? (online PowerPoint). It's simple, but offers a vision for learning that I agree with wholeheartedly. It seems like many progressive educators are thinking in this direction, but will society ever catch up? I liked her take on learning in the future:

• involves generating knowledge not storing it
  
• is primarily a group - not an individual - activity
  
• happens in ‘real world’, problem-based contexts
  
• should be ‘just-in-time’, not ‘just-in-case’
  
• needs to be à la carte, not en bloc.
