Technology Disruptively Enhancing Education

Learning material away from the class room using technology and using the classroom to reinforce the learnings is so simple yet so effective.

Instead of trying to focus on what the teacher is saying with the distractions of the classroom and then staying up too late trying to solve the homework problems by texting, IMing, Facebooking and calling friends for the answers is the 'old way' of learning.


The smarter way to use technology such as the iPod or any delivery mechanism on a computer is for the material to be delivered in a format in which the student can listen and learn at their own pace, and in their preferred environment (like the bean bag in the bedroom without the distraction of someone cracking jokes on the other side of the room) and review and repeat the material.

And then use the classroom time to go through the problems with the help of peers and the teacher. (This isn't my idea! This is what they are doing at the Menlo School in California.)

Wouldn't it be fun to go back to school!?

Well of course you can - for free - just go to iTunes University.... http://www.apple.com/education/mobile-learning/

ENJOY!
