The unprecedented disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic makes this an opportune time to reconsider all dimensions of education.  \nDesign/Approach/Methods: We present information on how technology is transforming virtually every aspect of our lives and the threats we face from social media, climate change, and growing inequality. We then analyze the adequacy of proposals for teaching new skills, such as 21stCentury Skills, to prepare students for a world of work that is changing at warp speed. Findings: Despite harbingers of a radically different future, most schools continue to operate much as they have for centuries, providing a one-size-fits-all education. Technology now enablesan unprecedented degree of personalization. We can tailor learning opportunities to individual students’ interests, talents, and potential with teachers serving as guides, resources, and critical friends. The Internet afford a cornucopia of learning opportunities—online courses, international experts, global collaborations, accessible databases, and libraries. Learning can occur virtually anywhere.  \nCorresponding author:  \nG. Williamson McDiarmid, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; East China Normal University.

The value of this article is that we call for rethinking every component of education rather than considering each element independently.  \nKeywords  \npersonalized learning, reform, technological change, 21st-Century Skills Date received: 26 June 2021; revised: 21 November 2021; accepted: 12 December 2021  \nAs we write this, educators across the globe are struggling as schools, students, and families deal with the consequences of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Uncertainty is the order of the day as local and national policies on vaccination and masks change and, at times, conflict. Some teachers are required to teach content both face-to-face and online. For their part, students in some countries are struggling to recoup lost learning time and too often find themselves pawns in political conflicts among parents, educators, and policymakers. As stressful as the situation is for educatorsand students and their families, the pandemic accelerated a trend toward an expanding use of technologies to provide learning opportunities remotely.  \nOur contention is that major changes in education are imperative—not just tweaks to the status quo but the revolution that many such as Sir Ken Robinson (2010) have urged—yet, major changes in education are rare and slow-moving.
