Just a few weeks ago, Robinson presented a video TEDx talk in London, addressing how population growth and technology are fueling huge changes in education, and the imperative to make all schools progressive.
He argues that the principles of what’s considered “alternative” education are those that should be applied to mainstream education.

Editor's note: This post is part of a three-week series examining educational innovation and technology, published in partnership with the Advanced Leadership Initiative at Harvard University.
If we can match highly-effective educators with great entrepreneurs and if we can direct smart capital toward these projects, the market for technological innovation might just spurt from infancy into adolescence.
That maturation would finally bring millions of America's students the much-touted yet much-delayed benefits of the technology revolution in education.

Design Thinking is a mindset. Design Thinking is the confidence that everyone can be part of creating a more desirable future, and a process to take action when faced with a difficult challenge. That kind of optimism is well needed in education.

Gust MEES: Find out more, but don't forget this; not ONLY tools make a good teacher, your pedagogical knowledge as your general knowledge and your knowledge about 21st century Learning and Teaching is the most important and your way how you communicate!
The "C" in "ICT", "Communication"; these mixed up with engaging and motivating your students (learners) gives you success :)
Did I say "You", sorry: gives success to you and the learners... The learners (students), the MOST important anyway ;-)

Aspects of creative thinking that are not usually taught. Creative thinking is work. You must have passion and the determination to immerse yourself in the process of creating new and different ideas. Then you must have patience to persevere against all adversity. All creative geniuses work passionately hard and produce incredible numbers of ideas, most of which are bad. In fact, more bad poems were written by the major poets than by minor poets. Thomas Edison created 3000 different ideas for lighting systems before he evaluated them for practicality and profitability. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart produced more than six hundred pieces of music, including forty-one symphonies and some forty-odd operas and masses, during his short creative life. Rembrandt produced around 650 paintings and 2,000 drawings and Picasso executed more than 20,000 works. Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets. Some were masterpieces, while others were no better than his contemporaries could have written, and some were simply bad.

This model of learning is not only effective for videogames but for all digital tools, and I would argue that play — especially in the digital sense — is emerging as a pedagogical keystone for education in the 21st century.

Great to see all these training material (pdf) published by the MIT #open-source initiative. It's an important step in regard with the trainee (self-learning) and for the trainer (sharing the learning material). It's not collaborative for the moment, but it's an important first step :)

Il n'est pas besoin d'insister sur le fait que l'on apprend beaucoup en consultant Internet, de multiples façons : en explorant des sources spécialisées, en s'information sur les sites généralistes, en suivant des pairs ou des organismes liés à notre univers professionnel sur les réseaux sociaux, en s'abonnant aux fils RSS des sites de référence, etc.
Conjuguées à nos sources d'information et de savoirs physiques, ces sources et applications numériques composent notre Environnement personnel d'apprentissage (EPA - Personal Learning Environment en anglais). Si cet environnement apparaît comme confus et bouillonnant au premier abord, avec un peu de pratique on parvient à l'organiser et surtout à distinguer la fonction attribuée à chaque élément.
