Who is teaching who?

I've read many posts containing something of the following.

• We are preparing children for a future we can not describe
• We are preparing children, who as a generation, are enjoying a rich information experience outside-the-classroom.
• We are preparing children within a new and dynamic information environment with new qualities that seem ready made for teaching and learning.

The above quote is from David Warlick at 2centsworth. I agree - however I do feel some frustration when helping to create a future educational environment when we all seem attached to our existing mode of teaching. Maybe we don't have to do stuff with regard to teaching - maybe, as David says, it's as simple as recognising;

“They’re learning by teaching themselves. And isn’t that the best thing we could be doing to make them ready for an unpredictable future — to teach themselves?”

- and our job is to create an learning environment where these self directed learning behaviours can occur. In a high school the students move from class to class each hour and within each hour they 'learn' content discrete to that of the previous hour. We the teachers decide what they will learn. Starting to sound like a dis-connection with self directed idea??
