The Brightness of the Future: Analyzing a TED Talk on the State of Education

In the TED Talk we analyzed in class the other day, it is apparent that this class is much like the vision that the speaker had for the future's education. It is much more valuable for a skill or ability to be taught in a non-structured environment, since the student is able to learn at their own pace. More importantly, however, the student is able to learn what they want, rather than possibly outdated material at the pace of the classroom. This class is similar to the speaker's vision because every student is able to learn exactly what they want by picking their own topic and blogging about it. The freedom of mind and creativity that delivers the same grade as structured classes may help people become more creative thinkers adequately prepared for the outside world.
