WW4OBJECTIVES

4. FUTUREMETHODOLOGIES
Foresight: Is the attempt to map projections into the
future and to explore their potential implications.
IT IS NOT some forecasting by experts, neither a
prophecy nor a prediction.
Scenarios: Is the attempt to work with those
who are concerned with the futures inquiry
and its implications, to generate a set of
plausible divergent future worlds.
IT IS a tool to challenge the assumptions of
any given or inevitable future.
K. C KOUTSOPOULOS
Professor NTUA and V.P. EUROGEO

5. FORESIGHT:METHODSCHOSEN
Delphi Method:, is a process aiming at
collecting and distilling knowledge from a
group of experts through the use of a series
of questionnaires.
Six Thinking Hats: is a method o going
through decisions from different
perspectives, enabling participants to move
outside their habitual intellectual pattern
Brainstorming: is a method, used in groups
in order to support creative problem-
solving, and the generation
of new ideas.

12. CHALENGESINEDUCATION
The challenge of education
is to prepare the children of today for:
 a world that has yet to be created.
 jobs yet to be invented.
 technologies yet undreamed.
Any foresight effort which focuses on the
role of education as a societal necessity.
KOUTSOPOULOS
Professor NTUA and V.P. EUROGEO
Requires an examination of trends
and challenges in society,
technology and education.

13. TRENDSINSOCIETY
 Towards denser, deeper and more diverse information
landscape
 Towards Constant Connectivity
Towards personal cloud
 Towards a Digital Native Society

SoCSCENARIO
SCENARIO FOR A NEW SCHOOL
The new School on the Cloud can attain an
educational environment providing unity
without uniformity by creating the
foundations upon which to apply the new
Network centered paradigm which in turn
provides a Cloud based education.

18. IN ORDER TO PUT THE A SCHOOL ON CLOUD INTO OPERATION THERE IS:
A need to work within a susceptible to present
conditions educational paradigm (I propose the new
Network knowing paradigm)
A Suitable educational setting
to apply them (I proposed the
new Unity without Uniformity)
To have the appropriate instrument to be
able to do so (I propose Cloud Computing)

19. SoCCHARACTERISTICS
THE CLOUD BASED PROPOSED SCHOOL ON THE CLOUD
 All stakeholders by utilizing the
same recourses and possibilities
have equal opportunities or Unity
 The unusual combination of the
great abilities offered and the
ubiquity in providing any service
to all stakeholders negate the
necessity for Uniformity

Professor NTUA and V.P. EUROGEO

21. CONCLUSIONS:NOWDAYSEDUCATION
THE EDUCATION PARADIGM NOWDAYS
 Deprive present day students of
the tools they need most to master
the necessary skills and dexterities
(the necessary unity in the
education system)
 Force them to follow a
predetermined path to achieve
them (not avoiding the barriers of
uniformity )

22. K. C . C KOUTSOPOULOS
Professor NTUA and V.P. EUROGEO
CONCLUSIONS:THENEWNETWORKCENTEREDPARADIGM
It can provide the same resources as
well as the same opportunities
Provides equal educational
opportunities and experiences
Creates a unified education system
the irrelevancy of the location of the
Cloud user and of the Cloud itself
offer the ability to design on an
identity related basis
Negating uniformity in education
SHOOL ON THE CLOUD BASED ON CLOUD COMPUTING

23. CONCLUSIONS:THEDICTUM
In education all flowers (schools)
can bloom as long
as they can find
the appropriate "cloud" to grow
upon
