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.
