To secure the workplace of the future, young people will need the skills and knowledge base associated with Literacy 2.0 shared canvases, where every splash of painted knowledge provides a richer tapestry of in-depth understandings of the world in which they live. To succeed in education reform schools must be broadly driven by forward-thinking educational technology minded visionaries. These visionaries must articulate clear andcompelling vision of optimal characteristics that encourage technology-supported education reform that focuses on preparing students to live, learn, and work in the 21st century.

Throughout the history of American education, classrooms have been self contained entities. Innovations in technology are giving rise to powerful new models of collaboration. Perhaps in the not quite distant future these classrooms will merge on a new venture. A venture while making profound changes in the way education is delivered to students.Students in Junior High, High School and college are now finding means to communicate through the use of social networking tools, such as blogs, wikis and chat rooms. Although these types of collaborations may not be school related they have become Americas youth pastime. While at the same time a majority of schools have yet to be exposed to future capabilities of these new technology tools.

The reason being is that education has not recognized the full potentials of Web Found Learning. This is not to say that new graduates in the field of education have not identify the capabilities, thus establishing a sizable gap for new understanding of the potentials of harnessing mobile learning opportunities. Secondly, more advance schools will begin to encourage Web Found online communities of knowledge gathering, while the less advanced thinking schools will take a back seat, wait and see attitude. This new world of mobile begins now with a different school of thought. A new company has opened its doors in redefining mobile learning opportunities through Linkling. Linkling provides mobile learning textbooks for the "now" generation of learners.

The Flipped ClassroomThe flipped classroom provides avenues for teachers to become facilitators of learning and move away from the sage on a stage approach to teaching. The foundational concepts of instructors guiding students or facilitating their progress are based on the idea that the instructor is no longer at the center of the interaction and application of knowledge. The instructor remains available to students as a facilitator of resources, a resource who should frequently check students for understanding for their learning. The teacher, when necessary will provide guidance in how to process the information for a unit of study. The facilitators role changes dramatically in that the teacher becomes a source to students in how to better use the resources, process information and apply core concepts to real life situations.
