Well Infomred #1- Future of learning

The school system in regards to learning is the same in every country. Not every country has the same schooling but every country has some sort of learning. Everyone learns differently and at their own pace. In on of the videos I watched the future of learning they said that this is the very first generation that isn't scared of technology. I think that's 100% true, I see 3 year old child riding in a stroller with a giant iPad in their hands playing a game or watching a show. When I was 3 years old I was playing with stuffed animals and watching people as they passed by. I think learning from technology can be beneficial for children but also harmful. you can learn from technology, you can learn math, science, reading, etc. but you cant learn how to interact with others. You cant learn social cues or facial expressions from technology. The video also mentions the technology they are working on helps children learn at their own rate and in a way that makes sense to them. as time goes on the system will get smarter and help teach them in different ways they would understand.  I think all that is great but then you're taking away jobs, and families livelihood. If a machine will teach the children then why need teachers? why need school when each child can take turns being taught from a machine?

I think the future of learning is growing and I'm very happy that its growing and thriving. I think instead of handing the more fortunate countries the technology, take the technology to the less fortunate countries and help them develop schools and different technologies.

There was another video called The Land. Basically just children playing with dangerous things learning by experience. I get the concept of learning hands on but it could have been more supervised, at one point I thought one of the kids were going to cut their hand with a saw. The place they were learning or experiencing from was dirty and looked like an old junk yard, I wouldn't want my children learning that way. If I want them to experience something hands on I want to be there. I want to see their facial expression, the excitement in their eyes. That's something you cant get if they're looking at technology.
