It's time for a revolution in Education

Education as we know is almost the same for about 150 years, cockpit class rooms, the teacher at his chalkboard or activeboard and it's a fact we give more paper then a student can carry. Why isn't it different? Is the technolgy not ready for education? Do we need paper to give better education? Are students not allowed to collaborate?

Social Media, Tablets, Computers, Internet,  technology that shows us students want to connect, want to work together. I think we are ready to make class rooms where we can look to eachother and become a learning team instead of a learning individual.

Small things can change education, small things can be the start of a new way of working. Take your time and look at the latest Apple presentation , where it's all about the text-book, all about education. Maybe it's not the way, but it's a way and most important , it's an effort in trying to enhance education. 

And be honust, we owe that to our students.
