I woke up today to a story on BBC Radio about how more than half the jobs we know today will be done by robots in less than 30 years. So what's left? What should the next generation of adults be learning now so they'll be able to land jobs and find meaning and contribute to the world? Experts agree. Young people need to learn how to do all things robots can't do, which means they need to harness their powers of creativity, collaboration, and compassion--which, weirdly enough--were exactly the things we focused on yesterday and today at the Literacy and Beyond confab at the University of Western Georgia .
Speaking of creativity, collaboration, and compassion, look at my new pal Ellie above. She could be the poster girl for all three.
Thanks UWG and Cherokee Writing Project for inviting me to keynote the conference and lead a few workshops. Wouldn't have missed a chance to meet all y'all (see, I can speak Southern) for the world.
