Lets make education and technology the dream team
Education + Technology + Community = ACTION
Online learning is also the catalyst to bring about more equitable access to high-quality education … through online learning, we can deliver high-quality teaching and learning experiences regardless of where students live.

Introduction
Being born with itchy feet has led me to many corners of the world. We can learn so much about a culture from examining their education system.
My teaching experiences in Cameroon and Cambodia, France and French Caribbean have shown me how education systems often reflect their society and therefore the level of possible development.
This article is going to focus on how combining a number of elements result in a strong and effective compound.
Education + Technology + Community = ACTION
The Education
It is clear that students are more inspired, motivated and empowered when technology is involved.
Given that education is a vehicle to success, access to technology needs to become a reality.
With education dreams can become real, lives altered and development is an achievable notion.
The Technology
Today, groups of people who share the same vision are coming together. They are putting all of their efforts and knowledge to facilitate the access to educational information.
E-learning startups focus on widening the network who receive information to improve their lives.
A great example this is IT Studio, a startup that provides farmers the best practises to adapt their traditional farming techniques in Colombia. Hence, improving their revenue.
With technology then powered by Noosfeer the farmers, often in remote environments, still have access to this information without an internet connection.
The community
We are joining forces with a collective of startups to create the best education community in the world.
A community is an integral part of change. A shared mentality, combining our strengths, our ideas and our tools. Change is hard alone but together we are unstoppable.
We believe in the notion of a collective intelligence that can change the world.
Information should remain free and accessible, regardless of race, gender, age or origin.
Technology is an integral platform to achieving education accessibility world wide.
Technology and education is the “dream team” to real change on a local and international level. They are the beginning of a new age.
The Action
In the past, access to technology has been restricted.
We are determined to turn this around. The need of constant internet connection is no longer a necessity to learn online.
Noosfeer recognises that information is power, and can highly benefit those that possess it. It aims to share it’s technology so that anyone, anywhere can access the information they need.
Education is the legacy we leave to the next generation, let’s be proud of what we can do.
The world is full of possibility, it needs our kick start so development will naturally take its course.
If you have useful information, tips, best practises that you want to distribute to new places, the community can help you deliver that information to right people, the people that really need it.
