It's time for us to reimagine education for a better future!
Director of Possibilities: Creativity and Education I Co-host of the Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast
Schools were not built for learning. Schools were built for schooling. - Will Richardson In our latest episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education podcast, Matthew Worwood and I sit down with the co-founder of the Big Questions Institute, Will Richardson. We dive into the profound changes reshaping education as we move from the Third to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Here are three key topics we explore: 1. Unintended Consequences of Technological Advancements: Will dives into the historical patterns of technological disruptions, citing the Internet and AI as double-edged swords with substantial benefits and profound challenges. He highlights pressing issues such as misinformation and societal disconnect, urging us to reflect on the long-term impacts of our innovations. 2. Imagining "Irresistible Futures": Emphasizing the significance of visionary thinking, Will advocates for the idea of "irresistible futures" — compelling, optimistic visions for education that can galvanize communities and institutions. He questions why our current system often falls short of this ideal, stressing the necessity for profound changes that go beyond minor adjustments. 3. Student Inclusion in Decision-Making: Will also critiques the glaring absence of students in conversations about their own educational experiences. He argues for their integral involvement in decision-making processes, from the classroom to administrative levels. Tune in to gain deeper insights into how we can reimagine education, focus on true learning, and prepare our students for a future full of potential and promise.
