New ideas about learning

I have been pondering a lot about the different forms currently available that students have for their learning process. Yet, we are still using much of the tools used 100 years ago, with hardcover books and attending to a classroom.



Classrooms are a proven way of gaining knowledge. Yet, nowadays, people are talking about reaching the "singularity" of knowledge within this generation. This is, the knowledge is growing at such a rapid pace, that is even reaching exponential levels, which as consequence, would takes to levels of sophistication in our technology which are even hard to imagine today. Are we prepared to teach our kids in the context of the present pace of things?

Not sure.


I think we need to change the way we teach, but specially the way we learn, and it better be soon.
