Children growing up today have something that we didn't: all of the worlds information at their fingertips in a matter of seconds. The most important thing we can teach them is how to find and utilize this information. Such skills can be taught with excellent English, computer literacy and advanced searching; how to piece together knowledge from multiple sources, how to find a good tutorial and apply it to what you're doing.
Then teachers can get on with their real job: inspire students to take up a challenge then watch them excel.
