Abstract	A brief introduction to futures education, an annotated listing of resources, and three ready-to-use student activities are provided. The introduction discusses the benefits of futures education; for example, it encourages students to make responsible decisions about the future. Next, it lists a variety of techniques developed by futurists to examine a range of probable futures--scenarios, futures wheels, cross-impact materials, Delphi polling, trend extrapolation forecasting, and relevance trees. Following the introduction, eight specific resources are listed, including a guide, teaching model, journal, report, and article. Then three learning activities are listed. The first activity sheet suggests seven activities to help students get involved with the future. For example, students can write a scenario of the world in the year 2003, concentrating on a list of topics provided. In the second activity, students are asked to list future consequences should certain given future developments occur. In the third activity, students are asked to respond to 50 questions designed to stimulate future thinking. (RM)
