I had (have) the same concept like this. We should have a school online, there can be thousand of ways to maintain it. Like what Sugata Mitra just said: No boundary of lessons, just learning what makes interest. Another can be totally mainstream but with a great innovation and practicality from class 1 to 12, because Universities have already started doing this kind of job. If this can be done and internet can be ensured to every corner of the world, this single handedly will change the facet of the future learning. It is a high time to think about the school system which has been made hundred (or many more) years ago.
Got this video while browsing TED and was impressed by the way this communication took place. He provided a logical way to prove his points, though controversial: Is there any future of traditional schools? It's quite intriguing as very few of scholars would say things like this. He wanted to mean that school is a barrier on creativity and also persuaded that examinations and contests make people shut their imagination door. Which partly is true too, when you are anxious about failing you may not come with some extravagant yet groundbreaking ideas. But though he had put significance on e-learning he did feel the urgency of group works. He had no problem in getting data from internet and placing it in your homework or research works (to him they are already there, why we need to learn or do the cycle again?!) but he wanted them to be repeated and being discussed. By this overly discussion the students will learn more and will not forget what they just learned. And he doesn't claim only over the air but also proved it in every instances which makes it unique.

A sole road surrounded by green trees so even in sunny summer day you would feel the shade of heaven. In a bright summer day, air filled with smell of sweet spring, aroma of mango flower lends an exotic feeling all around. When I recall of my home back in my town the first picture that comes is what I just wrote. It was not always as dreamy as it sounds, but my mind took snap only of the nicest part of it. First 15-16 years has a broader effect on my life and the way I think or see. The serenity, the naive people all around with big heart taught me some of the greatest lessons of life. I am grateful as I had not had to be in bustling Dhaka in begining of my life. The stadium, tennis court, school's play ground, library, town club all seem very close to my heart. I know this tiny town as I know my palm. Every inch of it gives me a sense of belonging. Terrific! |
A little heads upThe Blogorama is collection of my daily blog. Whereas category "Things made my life awesome" talks about my past wonderful experiences in an ascending order, "Now in my mind" says the issues I like my opinion on. "Life, in making" is recently started daily log (not so daily!), "Meditation" is something I come back so often, thought that would interest YOU too. Well, that sums it up (almost). Me,A constant dreamer, believe this is not the end of the world and try to make changes in my own life constantly. Life sometimes went hard and strict-my life's choices would determine whether I have taken them as lessons or punishment. My Quote'If you think someone else is the problem and is not letting you do certain things, that implies you perceive yourself a victim. Being victim is letting the person win. If you really want to make a statement: Ignore him. Blogories
