How education will change
“this ‘telephone’ has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication.”
-Western Union internal memo, 1876
“the wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular?”
-an investor in response to David Sarnoff’s push for radio in 1920
“while theoretically and technically television may be feasible, commercially and financially it is an impossibility.”
-Lee De Forest, radio pioneer, 1926
we’re wrong more often than we think
the pope’s inauguration
you want to start a
business?
we don’t need an
expensive credit card terminal
you don’t need to hire
people
you don’t need a building or pay for an entire
office
we don’t need a
taxi
we don’t need to stay at a
hotel
we don’t have to go to a
restaurant
our world has
changed
we’re getting
smarter
The Flynn effect
school has changed
Sir Ken Robinson
A child driven educa9on
education is going global
when it comes to carrots or sticks, sticks only de-motivate
it’s the age of non-linear learning
why are we still using textbooks?
if you want anyone to listen you have to grab their
attention
we don’t need teachers, we need leaders.
Anything worth memorizing is worth looking up.
education is going to change no matter what…
you can either be ahead of the curve or behind the curve.
The choice is yours.
do impossible
things.
