This presentation was presented in TU Delft human library in Sep 16, 2013. The main message of this presentation says the focus of education has shifted from content to communication around content and Web2.0 technologies can be used to facilitate this change.

How public educational systems are preparing the students for a completely uncertain and unclear future?
Each student has an extraordinary capacity for creativity and innovationPicasso says: all kids are born artistsThe challenge of our educational system is how to keep them artists as they grow up.Story: Drawing the picture of god by the little girl
1- the most useful subject for the job are at top. As a result you were not to do what you really wanted to do. i.e. don’t do music, you won’t be a musician in future. Don’t do art, art cannot provide any money for you in future.2-Students as product
Achievement approach to learningKnowledge as an external objective that should be transferred into heads of students by teachersTeaching in classrooms is often conceptualized very differently: it is often fitted "into a mold in which a single, presumably omniscient teacher explicitly tells or shows presumably unknowing learners something they presumably know nothing about“ (Bruner, 1996)
Non-personalized and outcome-based assessments in the form of final exams or multiple choice tests
Stigmatizing mistakes You'll never come up with anything original - if you're not prepared to be wrong.
As an evidence you can see the hierarchy of educational systems everywhere in the world: at the tops are mathematics, engineering and language, then are humanities and at the bottom of line is arts again with their hierarchy where art and music are given a higher priority than drama and dance.
Indeed, what is happening in our educational system is that when our kids are growing our education systems progressively focus on educating them from the waist up, then focus on their heads, and slightly shift the focus to the left hemisphere of the brain where the numerical and math capacities are located.
traditional definitions of learning have focused primarily on achievement, new definitions focus on engagement, participation, and knowledge creation
Change is the main constant in the world that we will always have it, and without learn & embrace it we become irrelevant.Change in our society, workplace, organizations_____> emerging new demands and requirements
technology as a tool, process, or method will be an integral component of learning
-Your ability to learn more, is more important than what you already have learned. In other words, teaching act should be treated as a capacity building not as filling the brain of students with a fixed set of (rapidly out-dated)knowledge and facts-Building capacity for more learning -It is not what you know that accounts anymore, it is what you can learn.
a process of knowledge CO-constructionIn every communities not only education but society and workplace
the lingo of net generation
-Allowing and supporting students to acquire and practice required skills and competencies by using technologies
In his seminal work, The Design of Everyday Things, Don Norman (2002) urged readers to adopt a human centered design perspective. This viewpoint is a philosophy based on the needs and interests of the user, with an emphasis on making products usable and understandable.
