We need a curriculum of big questions, examinations where children can talk, share and use the Internet, and new, peer assessment systems. In the networked age, we need schools, not structured like factories, but like clouds.

A century ago, we imagined futuristic cities full of hulking, steel buildings, their towers surrounded by a lace of elevated roads. But today, the future of architecture is biology. Via Ana Cristina Pratas Delete the scoop?

amazing video that won the 2013 TED prize. Very surprising: the hole in the wall experiment shows that we don't really need to TEACH so many things!
" Groups of street children learned to use computers and the Internet by themselves, with little or no knowledge of English and never having seen a computer before. Then they started instinctually teaching one another. In the next five years, through many experiments, I learned just how powerful adults can be when they give small groups of children the tools and the agency to guide their own learning and then get out of the way."
It's about LETTING learning happen! Self-organized learning : broadband, collaboration, and encouragement. We need a curriculum of BIG questions; not little details. BIG questions.
