Did you know 3.0 and Mr Winkle Wakes

Viewing this short clip has made me realize what an important part technology plays in our everyday lives. People who train for jobs dealing with computers will have to stay up to date on new technologies, because it changes in the blink of an eye. Who knows what type of technologies will be invented in the future.
Because computers transmit data so quickly, the Internet is the fastest way to send and receive important information. As soon as you hit a button, you are connected to various websites. Computers do have their way of industrializing things. Take the post office for example, in the years to come people will not want to pay to send mail, because they can send it through the Internet for free.
Mr. Winkle Wakes never thought that the world would be so different after 100 years, but many things can change in 100 years. I believe that in 100 years schools will be the same. Many people rely on the public school system for their education and doing away with public schools would put them at a grave disadvantage.
Education never seems to change; you constantly write, learn, and take exams on taught material. That is all you can do in a school setting. So that is why I believe schools will be the same in 100 years.

  2. Mr. Winkle isn't about doing away with public schools.

    What about problem solving and collaboration? These are easy ways we could change schools. Must it always be about isolated students listening to the sage on the stage?

  3. If schools don't change in the next 100 years they will not exist. Or they will be just baby sitting institutes.
