So prevelant today, particularly in the east coast college preparatory school in which I teach, almost bordering on hysteria, is the idea of preparing children to learn in the 21st century. Our administration has overwhelmed itself with the idea that we will not be able to do our jobs adequately, if we know, not, what tools, information, and technological sciences will be available to us. Howard Gardner, as he as been doing his entire career, puts all of this in perspective for me, when he suggests that it is how we think about what we will utilize in our teaching and the five definitions of thought that will guide us, rather than an advocacy for the collection of technological tools that will enable us to teach, in the future. Once again Gardner does not jump on the proverbal bandwagon of buying stuff and fluff, and puts the emphasis on the essense and substance of thought and learning. Bravo!
