O FUTURO DA EDUCAÇÃO POR G. SIEMENS

Transcrição de parte da entrevista: George Siemens: I guess it is a step back a little bit and probably worth looking at what is it that schools are there for, what is it that they are doing. As far as frustrating as it is, schools and societies that have higher levels of education are also more prosperous. Somehow we have to recognize what is it that schools do well, what functionality do schools serve for a society... but how can we do that without institutionalizing the experience. We want to take the good stuff of school and we want to get rid of the stuff that is demotivating, the stuff that takes students and pushes them out of that experience and gets them frustrated and upset. I want to give you an example: I have a daughter who has just loved school up until she hit grade five. Up until then she was, I guess, just blessed with good teachers. Teachers who made learning fun, they played games in class, they got together, and they did just these neat little activities that she would spend her weekend on.
