Why Go Global? or Learning for the Future!

I have in common with the authors of this site the opinion that "Our curriculum structure, school day structure and educational priorities are not preparing students for their future" and with it the thought that new learning technologies will be able to change this. What for me counts as what students need to learn, however, is different from the version presented here - things like "managing complexity" and "managing for results" seem to me to be more a misrepresentation of what is needed, while things like "risk taking" and "civic responsibility" are, in my view, mostly cliches. But if we are talking about what needs to be learned, instead of trotting out the traditional targets like trigonometry, then we are on the right track.
