New Concept Education

Saturday, July 2nd, 2011

Remember that learning was about the book, story books, textbooks, journals, research books, books, reference books …

Well, although still very important books, computers and electronic readers like the Kindle is becoming almost as popular and, one day, easier to use than books. Students still read, but reading it in new and exciting ways. The concept of a “book” as you have and read by turning the pages has changed.

And slowly, very slowly, the concept of education to change too. What have you learned? What have you learned?

I hope you remember things like math, spelling, history, sociology and many other school subjects “taught. And that was probably good as what the world needs people with expertise in certain areas, so they have a job in a type particular work.

But the world has changed. I read that today’s students can expect seven different types of work in your life! The pace of change is so rapid that it is impossible to maintain, impossible for any material it needs to survive and prosper in the future to learn.

Learning is no longer “subjects” learning “things enough. Must be willing to keep learning, to be a lifelong learner.

Do schools prepare students for this change in learning? The best schools and best teachers have always tried to help children develop a love of learning, a love that will allow them to be lifelong. Most teachers stop treating students if the data they need for tests and exams.

Therefore, if the “stuff” to teach children is not preparing for a prosperous future is what?

Well if you want a student to be a lifelong learner who must be taught to learn. You will need the skills you need to be anywhere, anytime, anyway to learn.
