Keynote: Knowledge building organisations

- 13. Sugata Mitra - Education system is outdated.
- 15. What’s changed? 1. Knowledge is a commodity: it’s free like air or water. 2. What the world cares about is not what you know, but what you can do with what you know. 3. Any job that can be routined is rapidly being offshored or automated.

The Plum Tree Gordon MacKenzie “Orbiting the Giant Hairball”

- 29. “For me it was a dream come true - I could never have dreamt of doing what I love doing during school time”, explains Jackson ... it’s extraordinary to watch him learning; a YouTube tutorial open in one window, Blender in another, as he develops the latest element to the fantastical creature that he’s animating. No teacher has shown him how to do this; in fact the best way to cause learning here is for the teacher to stand back!
