knowledgeworks - map of the future

I was alerted to the KnowledgeWorks Foundation’s Map of the Future Forces Affecting Education by a mention in a post today by Will Richardson. This is a stunning visual representation of how future forces will affect the components of public education. Viewers can navigate across the map and dig into any of the trends, dilemmas or hotspots that are arrayed according to their position on the axis - the impact areas and drivers.

You can spend a lot of time exploring the map - and there would be many ways this could be used to stimulate discussions in schools. Also each trend, hotspot and dilemma leads to a collection of discussion forums, and real world applications.
