  • “What do you see as the big ‘game changer’ in education?”

  •  Change is the one constant that we will always have in our world and if we do not grow and learn to embrace it, then we will become irrelevant.

  • 2012-13, The US department of Commerce ranked 55 industry sectors for their IT intensiveness, education ranked lowest (below coal mining). Education industry that bears the responsibility to prepare children for the world of tomorrow, itself is not ready to embrace the digital revolution with an open mind.
  • Indeed there are some real risks attached with children using social media and it can’t be taken lightly. But there are also dangers in crossing a road. Do we tell our kids not to cross the road? No, we don’t! We hold their hand and tell them how to do it.

As we get more "sophisticated", we stop learning (on our own) and wait for training (the teacher as technician/pedagogy).
