The Future of Learning
Both this future of learning presentation as well as this Tech School.
The Tech School was really interesting because they set up education as a school for individuals. It is considered a blended learning school where they do modules on the computer and then go to work with a teacher in a group discussion. The presentation talks about the web and how the new web is based on user created data. Blended learning has the best of both worlds. The school has the computer at the center of the work day and uses it to make sure that the students are really understanding the content.
The teacher student interaction is still emphasized because the teachers are doing the important work of making the topics accessible and engaging to the students via workshops. The video talks about how the computers can easily aggregate the data, but the teachers are still responsible for going through the data on a daily basis.
