From Information to Innovative Knowledge:

Experiences from an Open Seminar

Let’s begin with

some history…

education

1.0

Meaning is dictated.

Technology is prohibited

…or purchased at great cost.

Teaching is done by

teachers to students.

Schools are made of

bricks.

Parents view school as

daycare.

Industry welcomes

graduates to factory

work.

Today…

education

2.0

Meaning is socially

constructed.

Technology is adopted

with great caution.

Teaching is done by

teachers to students

…and among students.

Schools are made of

bricks

…but some are online.

Parents view school as

daycare.

Industry views graduates

as ill-prepared.

Tomorrow…

education

3.0

Meaning is socially

constructed and

contextually reinvented.

Technology is

everywhere.

Teaching is done by

everybody, everywhere.

Schools are everywhere.

Parents learn, too.

Industry welcomes

graduates as mind

workers and

entrepreneurs.
