THE FUTURE OF LEARNING- A lecture by Professor Cavallo, MIT researcher

A summary of Mr.Cavallo's inspiring lecture at ITWorld Edu Conference:

-We are still teaching people for a world that belongs to the past. To change it, the biggest obstacle is our fear of change.

-We are designing learning materials for the world that WAS, not for the world that WILL BE

-The paradigm has shifted

-How can we use technology to raise the level of students?

-Does school teach what people need to know?

-School and learning must engage, it must not tell the answer; it must help students find the solution.

-Projects must engage.

-Many things that are done in schools are just historical remnants.

-Schools should be learning environemnts instead of places where information is taught.

-We are underserving our children and our community

-The idea is to make learning FUN. It may be HARD, but HARD FUN.
