Can ICT redefine the way we learn in the Networked Society? Technology has enabled us to interact, innovate and share in whole new ways. This dynamic shift in mindset is creating profound change throughout our society. The Future of Learning looks at one part of that change, the potential to redefine how we learn and educate. Watch as we talk with world renowned experts and educators about its potential to shift away from traditional methods of learning based on memorization and repetition to more holistic approaches that focus on individual students’ needs and self expression.

ericsson – future of learning
the system should adapt to them…
knewton – adaptive learning platform – produce course uniquely personalized to each student
sugata – a question of time – that we’re all connected
10-ish – seth – we can’t be focussed on grades – corrupting entire reason we have ed in the first place
11 min-ish in – stephen – learning prepares you for life, education prepares you for certainty
seth – at 13 min -ish – can’t we get a new convo? if we can – then change will start to happen.
sat makes no sense, famous colleges are a scam
17 min – seth – revolutions destroy the perfect to enable the impossible
heppel – if i was going to make one change.. i would make school better – that will change history faster than anything else…

thanks Amy…..

So, I’m not totally sure what this software that Ericsson is distributing in Africa does, but here’s an interesting video about using it to connect refugees in Nairobi, Kenya. Another lady (I think Anna Briet) is explaining how it is different from Facebook, because the content put into the software is not “owned” by Ericsson.
Panel on Empowering Communities through Connectivity at the 2012 Social Good Summit in Nairobi, with eLimu founder Nivi Mukherjee, Anna Briet and Bahati Ghislain of Refugees United, and Ericsson’s Margaret Kositany.
The second part has a person who is involved in uniting the Minecraft community in Africa, someone starting Hackerspaces in Africa… !! Africa is ahead of us. :)
be you.
