The changing face of Education

“Over the past two decades, the way we learn has changed dramatically.

We have new sources of information and new ways to exchange and to interact with information.

Schools and the way we teach have remained largely the same for years, even centuries”

The Future of Thinking - Learning Institutions in a Digital Age by Cathy N. Davidson and David Theo Goldber With Zoë Marie Jones The MIT Press
