“Did You Know?” Well, did you?!

“Did you know that in 10 years the number one English speaking country in the world will be… China?”

This below is an updated version of a presentation created in August 2006 and meant to start debate over education in the U.S. It’s a nice collection of very interesting and hopefully – thought provoking – facts.

The content is quite America-centered, of course, as the presentation was meant for internal use in a Colorado High school faculty meeting, but since then it’s spread virally over the net. Nevertheless – it’s very much worth watching.

I personally am taking from it 2 genuine gems for myself – the name of the foundation “Shift Happens” and the statement “We’re living in exponential times.” which I intend to abuse as a forum signature wherever I can. :D

(To be honest I don’t really believe the last part about the supercomputer and the $1K computer, but it’s still quite nice to watch despite those 2 :) )
