WEEK 13: Today I Learn, Today I Question

This week we discuss about future education. I’m a bit late today, when I step in MK2, Monica already start her presentation. She presented the future education trend in front of us successfully. From her presentation, I have clear whole image about the future education. 

People are always looking forward to the future. As an educator, we also should looking forward to the future of education, I really can feel the challenges in us after the presentation. Our clients are digital native who are totally learn differently from how we learn. What are their needs? How do they learn best? These are questions Monica ask at the beginning of presentation and definitely are important questions we should ask ourselves.

Besides that, I think we must change our mindset, it is much more difficult than we can imagine. Malaysian Smart School Project is a vision, looks wonderful & perfect, but just like other government project, lack of effectively implementation. In my opinion, this may be because the people still not aware of that due to lacking publicity. Frankly speaking, from what I can see in my own school, I deeply felt that to become a smart school  more like a slogan, it seems still very far away. As to make this project success, government have to invest a lot of money but all the efforts will just wasted if appropriate mechanism still not implement. Therefore, educate the people before invest the money.
