  3. 2011 Horizon Report Important tool to demonstrate how important technology is becoming. People are spoiled, they want everything Fast and Now! • BUT Tablets, kindles and ipads make information much quicker but take away the simple joys of life such as relaxing while truly appreciating a book.

  4. Futuring and Scenarios

  5. Pros and Cons • Both Pros and Cons are important factors to consider. • Pro = ability and desire for improvement = enthusiasm towards technology • Cons = inability to deal with wrong predictions = inability to adjust to changes

  6. 2060 Salman Kahn’s prediction of education • NOW - The teacher lectures students who take notes and will have to pass a test at the end of the course.  • IN 2060 - Education will be more active for the student.  In 50 years it will change into a completely 'active, discovery and creative model'. Education will be characterized by less mental labor, but more creativity and innovation using technology and projects. 

  7. Some problems may arise in the prediction: • Population is aging • Technology will sharpen the gap poor-rich • Decrease of funds due to decrease of # of students

  8. Importance of Creativity • Creativity can be taught, guided and encouraged. • Our parents and ourselves, have always done the mistake to want our children grown fast, mature and following rules. • The biggest mistake a parent does that limits creativity is to encourage them to color inside the lines, instead of letting their imagination freely express.

  9. Where is education going? 2017 Scenario!

  10. 2017 Scenario • Instruction becomes more individualized • Students become more independent • Less teachers needed and more counselors • More projects versus tests • Each student will have a computer assigned
