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.
