I want to tell you a story

Our hero

Education must be connected

The game has changed

We must adapt and adopt to the new world

“Today's child is bewildered when he enters the 19th Century environment that still characterizes the educational establishment where information is scarce but ordered and structured by fragmented, classified patterns, subjects and schedules.”

Marshall McLuhan, 1967

We used to learn here

Now we learn here

The ‘Net Generation

Connected to everything

Wrong approach

It won’t work

She lives here

Seriously?

She’s okay

Different tools

Connected and unfiltered

Contextual

Engaging

Dynamic, diverse and passionate

Collaborative

Ready
