The future of education in the short term is freely accessible, accredited, world-class educational content across every discipline. In the long term, it's a noninvasive device that gives us write access to our brain, which we can use to download decades of knowledge instantly.

Modern education trains children to seek certainty instead of learning to manage and benefit from uncertainty. We need to prepare our kids for a volatile future of disruptive tech.

One of the greatest disservices of the modern edu system is that it trains us to follow instructions instead of educating us to write the instructions.

Technology can't solve all problems for students. We will always need to help foster students that can solve problems, be self-sufficient, and work well with others. #futureready #teachergoals
