Synthesizing 21st Century Learning
The current education system was designed for a different era. Should we be concerned that today’s multi-tasking students will have less sophisticated thoughts? No, this new way of education is built more around intrinsic motivation. The learning is engaging, interesting, and personal. Think about it--we now have so many new ways to connect with people, to get personal, to make learning matter. Watch this video to understand how connectivity has changed the way we think about education.
