למידה, אינטרנט ... ומה שביניהם

"Maybe we will shift to a new form of classrooms, leaving the traditional way of gathering 20-30 students in a room everyday," said Harun. "Maybe students will have their own cubicles as we do now, and they will run apps and watch videos, etc. Or maybe they will not have the obligation to come to school everyday, they will study at home, with their parents working at home."

Ok, so here we go again. This is what "learning" looks like to folks who think an education is simply mastering a set of concepts and skills that we deliver to kids. We know what they need to know, and all that we really need to change is the delivery method. Cubicles and apps. That’s reform. Cheaper. More efficient. Quantifiable.

The author would like us to believe that education is being “radically rethought” by the online and “blended” options that are available to students. But let’s be clear; the only things being rethought here are the delivery models of a traditional education and, most importantly, the financial models to sustain it and make lots of money for outside businesses who see technology and access as a way to not only line their pockets with taxpayer money but also bust the unions that stand in their way.

"Also, technology will also change learning from drill-and-practice to project-based learning," added Harun. "Students will have more hands-on activities and real-life projects, which is still not the case in here."
