Newsletter 9: Future Education 3.0 Time to Bid Farewell to "School": Perspectives from our Community

If schools kill creativity, it's time to question their existence. Instead of struggling to revamp an outdated system, let's rethink education and consider leaving behind the traditional notion of a "school" in the pre-pandemic era.

What would this new approach look like? Our community is brimming with innovative ideas. One administrator recently described their vision for a new education system as, "a platform that not only incentivizes students to learn but also empowers them as platform owners, creating a self-sustaining and profitable ecosystem, akin to a massive decentralized autonomous organization (DAO)."

Within the current landscape, all ideas are on the table. Perhaps it's time for those in the field of education to bid farewell to the word "school" and embrace a future where creativity and learning thrive outside traditional boundaries.

And while we taking about amazing ideas, check out (7) Stephanie Soetendal | LinkedIn idea to rethink the definition of school. I am thinking holograms could redefine school.

This promises to be a very interesting event this week with a fantastic group of educators from the UK, do come and join us:
