Technology and Jobs

Experts say that the top 5 jobs in the next decade we are not even training or educating people for. These jobs have not yet been created. So what we need to do is teach students how to learn, not necessary what to learn. Teach students how to adapt, problem-solve, and able to learn independently.

I've heard that too. The top five jobs in the next decade haven't even been invented yet but they will involve technology one way or the other.

I couldn't agree more. We shouldn't be trying to teach content, we should be teaching students how to learn. There is no shortage of content in the world, what people need us someone to help them make sense of it.
