The Need for Change in Teaching Strategies

In past and present generations, many or most teachers have used the “traditional” teaching method. This method usually includes lectures, worksheets, and testing, which creates a passive learner. I remember how teachers have taught middle and high school classes, usually via lectures. Even some college professors do the same thing. This leaves most teachers and students bored out of their mind. More teachers need to put students in more active role of learning not only the basic information b… Continue

Future of Education

Traditionally, education has been an entity, a system, a learning process that students undergo, or all or a combination of these things. Albert Einstein was once quoted as saying: "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school". In modern terms, education today is about learning as a life-long experience, not simply a process that students endure for a period of their lives. Future learning requires deconstructing traditional views of education as an insti… Continue

De-schooling Society

The 'mass production line' is a great analogy to describe the traditional school system. Students as the raw material and educators as the cogs in the machine working for a bureaucracy.

It is refreshing to consider an educational system that is not bound by four walls. Learning can happen by anyone about anything, anywhere and anytime.… Continue

Each course contains a sequence of activities, resources and referen… Continue
