As we kicked off PasstheBall.com, one of the things we focused on was education. With the power of Fred Mednick behind us - from Teachers Without Borders - we were impressed with his ability to take an idea and turn it into something amazing that is actually having a global impact.
Well, Fred's not the only one with ideas. In this video, John Legend shares his ideas about education and hopefully will inspire you to share yours.
Join us at PasstheBall.com and share your ideas - about anything - and get the ball rolling. If you don't have an idea, rate others or leave a comment.
Here are three great ideas about education from visitors to PasstheBall.com:
- Personalized Learning Portal: Unlike
teacher or expert centered social-networks, the Personalized Learning
Portal will be designed first and foremost to be learner-centered and
student-friendly while allowing all stakeholders to contribute to a
growing database of instructional modules.
- Bring Education Out of the Agricultural Age into the Conceptual Age: According
to Dan Pink’s book “A Whole New Mind” we are now in what is considered
the Conceptual Age, having gone from Agricultural to Industrial to
Information ages before. So why is the educational model we have today
still “stuck” back in the Agricultural age?
- Free Online Educational Programs: There are too many people out there who cannot afford to pay for classes or get students loans. It would be great if more legitimate free educational programs were available online. Some of the examples are: Conversation Spanish for all ages, Algebra for Beginners, Written Engilish 101.
Ideas get better when they are shared. Go on, pass the ball!
