In an ‘always on’ global society, the opportunity for learning moments—irrelevant of time, geography or social demographic—is huge, and educators need to consider how to stay relevant.
Techandlearning.uk published an article about Pamoja Education, a social enterprise working with the IB to provide online Diploma Programme courses. Pamoja has created a new model that aims at keeping relevant in this context. They state that education models around the world are becoming outdated and irrelevant, as children of the 21st-century are unlike the ones who started school a hundred years ago.
The world is changing ever more rapidly, so pedagogies need to evolve in order to excite, motivate and inspire today’s children.
Commenting on this, Pajoma Education says:
“We know students from primary school age and upwards use technology in their daily lives. So what is stopping the education sector from following in the footsteps of broadcast media? What about using technology to empower a new learning model that blends synchronous and asynchronous content, through complementary teaching partnerships between cloud-based subject matter experts and really great teachers on the ground, empowering learners to control their timetable, learn what motivates and inspires them, and develop the necessary skills so that they can own their futures?”
