Changing Modes Of Education

Ready to get schooled? Or rather, ready to get schooled on how to get schooled? This week on The Half Hour Happy Hour we are talking about new methods of education through technology. We’ve reached a point in our development as a society where individuals have the tools available to take ownership of their educational development. And now, more then ever, it’s crucial that they do. The rigidly structured, standardized forms of education we currently use are proving to be ineffectual at best, and harmful at worst, and it’s time to find a new way. We explore some of those ways, such as using mobile devices to access educational content, changing the way students come together to learn, and how effective learning environments can be brought to at-risk students. So grab a beer and give a listen. You may just learn something!
