SMART at Expo E-learning
Think about how different the world isnow…
compared to justfive years ago.
THINK about this…
We conduct over 61,000,000,000 Internet searches every day.
for information
Today…
The population of theUnited Arab Emirates is2.6 million
…yet there are 4.5 million mobile phones in use there.
China has the2nd largest Internet user base in the world(137 million).
More than53 millionJapanese use mobile phonesto access the Internet.
This is the world ourchildren are accustomed to.
When our children turn 21, theywill have
watched 20,000 hours oftelevision
played 10,000 hours of video games
sent/received over 250,000 e-mails or instant messages.
Tomorrow…
By the time theygo to theirhigh school’s 20th reunion...
they will have had between 10-14 jobs.
This is the world in whichour children will live.
Many of today’s collegesubjects didn’t exist 20
years ago,
such as new media
organic agriculture
e-business
nanotechnology
and homeland security.
So what will they study 10 yearsfrom now?
The world’s education systems are challenged.
Challenged to prepare students for jobs that haven’tbeen invented yet.
Challenged to teach them how to solveproblems we don’t even know about today.
Yet, in spite of the tools available toeducators…
And in spite of our children’sdesire to use them…
We continue to teach themwith tools invented 200 yearsago!
