The Earth\u2019s population will surpass 9 billion people, the power of computing will increase exponentially, and the world will face unprecedented economic, political and environmental challenges. However, what nobody can predict now, is how the schools and the teachers of the mid-21<sup>st<\/sup>century will be different from modern schools. In this talk I will dare to discuss my vision about how technology will change how we teach and learn science. \u00a0I will argue that 21<sup>st<\/sup> century schools will feature a significant qualitative and quantitative change in how science is taught and learned in our schools.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bio:<\/em>\u00a0Dr. Marina Milner-Bolotin is a Science Education professor at the University of British Columbia. With her M.Sc. in theoretical physics, a Ph.D. in science education and more than 20 years of secondary and post-secondary mathematics and science teaching experience in Canada and abroad, she had lots of opportunities to think of the future of science education. She researchers how technologies change how we learn about science and how we can prepare teachers to take full advantage of modern technologies. In her spare time, she likes to travel and to learn foreign languages with the Duolingo community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In three weeks (on January 21st) \u00a0I will be speaking at Nerd Nite Vancouver event: \u00a0http:\/\/vancouver.nerdnite.com\/.
