Question: Have you rated the T is for Training podcast on whatever site or app you use to listen to it? If not, please do it!

On the call were Jonathan Nalder (@JNXYZ) from Australia, Paul Signorelli, Andrea Snyder, Jill Hurst-Wahl, and Maurice Coleman. Jonathan started an organization called Future-U, which is a community where conversations about the future of education can occur. What are the big picture skills which people will need? From Future-U:

The Future-U web site talks about five literacies:
- Creativity
- Community
- Thinking Skills
- Project Delivery
- Storytelling
The discussion was focused and lively as we talked about the five literacies, and provided good fodder for ongoing conversations on this topic.
You can hear the entire show on the TalkShoe web site, as well as through iTunes and other podcast sites.
