How Connected Learning Networks Shape the Future of Education
Learning innovation with Sora, Galileo, and Prisma.
Education visionary Sir Ken Robinson once said:
“Our task is to educate their (our students) whole being so they can face the future. We may not see the future, but they will and our job is to help them make something of it.”
Yet, many kids grow up in an education system that stems from the industrialized age. Most schools batch children by age and expect them to learn at the same speed with the same means.
Connected Learning Networks follow a new paradigm. The approach to learning is defined as “learning that is socially connected, interest-driven, and oriented towards educational, economic, or political opportunity.”
Here are three schools that build on Connected Learning Networks and how they might shape the future of education:
1) Sora — High school built for you
Sora is a virtual high school that aims to accelerate students toward their wildest dreams.
Teachers are no longer teachers who deliver lectures but so-called guides who challenge students, structure individual curricula, and facilitate learning.
