This week, we’re speculating about the future!\u00a0 We’re entering a world where ‘schools’ as we know it no longer exist!\u00a0 But instead, every home is equipped with a Personal Education Assistant Pod (PEA Pod).\u00a0 I’m imagining it looking something like this:<\/p>\n

The data that big-tech companies have been harvesting about each of us over the following 30 years is actually being put to good use as algorithms are now being created that personalize each student’s educational experience – not only WHAT students like\/don’t like to learn….but especially HOW students can best go about learning the kinds of information that will be needed for the 21st century.\u00a0 Biomechanical sensors could be implanted that send a myriad of information to the PEA Pod computer and it will then tailor the experience based on everything it knows about the student.\u00a0 Give a listen to what a morning could be like for a fictional student, Nathaniel, as he enters the PEA Pod after breakfast:<\/p>\n

As you can hear, this future looks at the collection of data by big-tech companies at a future benefit to human’s education systems.\u00a0 The PEA Pod leveraged what it could discover about general human learning preferences, as well as Nathaniel’s emotions, past performance, motivation, and even social relationships (maybe he even has a crush on Maria!) to help him become educated in the most effective way that he can be….in this case, dealing with tricky chemistry concepts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
