100 Year EdTech Project
There was an inspirational Zoom session today before the community scenarios' submission deadline for next year's 100 Year EdTech Project. Some of the community submissions will be added to last year's original video prompts created by Joe Lambert, founder of StoryCenter.org:
Future Scenarios for 2074 (Design Summit Originals)
Climate Disaster and The Role of Education
When education institutions are the #1 trusted civic authorities and forces for community impact
Culturally Responsive AI Curriculum
When new learning experiences reflect diverse communities, avoid bias, and bolster inclusion
Genetically Modified Humans
When we understand the impact of enhanced physical and mental capabilities on education and society
Teaching in a Post-Truth Era
When teaching critical thinking and the value of empirical evidence is vital in the face of people ignoring objective facts
Interspecies Communications
When we advance our space and marine exploration and understand the needs and goals of extraterrestrial visitors, friends, and colleagues
Extended Reality and Historical Revisionism
When historical sites and moments are recreated in XR to align with personal and political agendas
Mental Wellbeing in the Digital Age
When digital addiction and social media become the ultimate health threats
Trauma-Informed Teaching and Learning
When a pandemic is winding down but the consequences are still rippling across the world
I did the voiceover for the Interspecies Communication video (90 sec.)

The next 100 Year EdTech Project’s 2025 Design Summit is March 19-21 at the University of Texas at San Antonio in San Antonio, Texas.
I also remixed one of the Design Summit's logos, above, to soften the edges. Now to finish my scenario and submit it before the Friday the 13th deadline!
