and
discussions on exponentiality
Proposition
Education should happen in context!
What does it mean?
Proposition
We’re living in exponential times.
So contexts will change exponentially!
Some Moore theorems
Exponential ?
Every given time interval a doubling
of power, capacity and possibilities.
What does it mean?
So looking ahead 4 years
is like
looking back 16 years or more
Exponential progress!
Remember the context before 2000?

SO……….
Now
-100 years
Do we use
the knowledge of the crowd?
Question
Does the classroom reflect
the context of the outside world?
Question
Is every student the same?
Question
Gate to knowledge and information ?
All kinds of tools are already used for
learning, whether we like it or not
No choice!
The context of learning is constantly
changing, is education just lagging?
What does it mean?
Context
Within a few years everyone will have at
least one powerful personal mobile device.
This device will be wearable, ruggedized,
non intrusive, intelligent, context aware
and connected!
Context
The format will change
Some challenges.. Are we be able to use technology to address
every students learning style and pace?
Some challenges.. Will technology make meaningful assessments
that address knowledge activation possible?
Change
Who is this man?
Self learning capabilities

Sugata Mitra:
Education is a self organizing system,
where learning is an emergent phenomenon
Just facilitate!
Plenty resources!
Teachers role?
Facilitate
Structure
Inspire
Teachers role!

View on innovation
Hard to innovate in a service organization
#1 Team and mission
#2 Working • Try do check act
• 8 out of ten 10 rather than 3 out of 3
• Active student involvement!
#3 Environment
Safe!
Non disruptive
#4 support context
Grassroots approach
&
Contextual involvement
from the top
#5 to make it fly ...
It should be
•Painless in execution
“What’s in it for me” should be obvious
Everything is golden?
