The document discusses how the internet is revolutionizing education. It notes that online education is a $34 billion industry with over 25,000 online courses offered in the US alone. Nearly two-thirds of for-profit universities now offer online courses. Resources like iTunes U provide hundreds of thousands of free college lectures and videos. The internet allows for an ecosystem with access to endless content across languages and cultures, enabling people to learn from one another without barriers and hopefully form their own opinions to pass on.

1. The new classroom
@fefaromano

2. The word text derives from the
Latin textura (web) which, in turn,
comes from the Latin verb, texere
(to weave).

9. The more I study
The more I know
The more I know
The more I forget
The more I forget
The less I know
SO WHY STUDY?

13. CENSORSHIP MANIPULATION

15. ONE-TO-MANY

16. MANY-TO-MANY

17. More time consuming media
...Or what is called entertainment media.
8-18 year olds devote over 53 hours/week to entertainment media
Multitasking means they can fit 10:45 into 7:30 every day
TV+Internet+Mobile
TV leads, but SNS, Videogames and YouTube are the top activities as
they go “online”
Elementary school boys spend twice as much time as girls - 5.5 vs
13hrs/week - playing videogames
Preschoolers play for 28 minutes/day

18. Tell me something
and I’ll forget,
Show me
and I may remember
Involve me
and I’ll understand.

20. Internet enabled society
Is an ecosystem
With access to endless content
No language barriers
And cultural understanding
We will learn from one another
We are already
We will (hopefully) form our own opinion
And we will give lots back to the generations to come
