Rethinking the Traditional Learning Model

This video is about schools, but at the heart it is about learning.  Chris Lehmann has created a spectacular Ignite presentation.  My key take -aways:

• Learning can be much more immersive
• Live in a “Life Long Kindergarten”
• “We teach kids, not subjects”
• Student centered learning
• “It’s about what they can do – about what they can make”
• Give them a project (or let them come up with their own
• “Technology needs to be like oxygen”

It really is about focusing on the learner.
