How Education Will Change

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.
