A World Where Grades Will Be Left Behind
This was a very entertaining article it talked about how education will change over the next 30 years. This article mainly talks about how technology will take over in the classroom and how education will become free for people. Thrun, who started this online free education website, said that he can't teach in another classroom. The n Thrun takes it a step further to explain his reasons and tells his plans to make education better for all people. Thrun says he will use computers in the classroom, flip the classroom, and use video cameras to help in the classroom. He talks about teaching student new skills to learn,instead of having students memorize material in classrooms. The most interesting phrase Thrun says was grades were failing the education system. I feel the same way Thrun does about making sure a student understands a concept before moving on to learn a new skill.
I liked many of the points made in the article,but I don't think that grades should be taking away from the classroom. I believe that a student should be able to meet with a tutor and teacher if they don't understand a particular subject. I think if this was to happen money would be saved and time from sitting in the classroom.
