CHANGES IN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS

While reading the new book of Thomas Friedman “Thank You For Being Late” I was amazed to discover so many e-learning sites . I was aware of Khan Academy from  years ago. While reading the book , Friedman was mentionning again about the new features of this web site. I checked again to see whats new. To my surprise there was a button for selecting the language requested. A long list appeared on the screen. I clicked the Turkish button and the whole page appeared in Turkish. I just thought that this was just to facilitate the entrance. Not all the lessons can be  in Turkish! But to my curiosity I selected a course for computer programming . Unbeleivably it was in Turkish more over subtitled in Turkish!

Than I visited another web page namely Launchcode.org . It started immediately to check my skills😉

How the educational systems will be in the near future? Not how we get it for sure! The internet and the availability of digital devices as like tablets or AppleTv or even TV antennas you can get anything that you want. Once a lesson has been recorded by a video camera than there is no need that the teacher do it again and againg every year. Once you collect all the lessons in one educational web platform than anybody who needs it can benefit of it.

Schools will change its structure for sure. Now its time to rewrite on what lessons students have to take it what exams to pass, what diplomas to get. I am wondering what will be the future of the expensive private high schools and universities?
