I stumbled upon this work of yours while searching for ways to best deliver and jump start my idea of providing learning opportunities for the world for subjects I myself love learning about and teaching.

I absolutely loved reading this and will consider building my content delivery components around what you suggested. As a futurist myself, I hope to stay in touch and follow your thoughts through your blog going forward.

Thank You

Without subject-area experts to guide and grade students in such subjects, I fear that the Courseware generation runs the risk of being able to talk a good game but not necessarily walk the walk in the real world.

Also, in many communities schools provide students with the basic levels of Maslow’s Hierarchy when those needs are not met at home. Therefore it is essential to maintain the school itself as a safe place of learning where students are fed, cared for, and instilled with a sense of belonging and value, thus raising their self-esteem. I envision a learning-centered school day consisting of students socializing and completing a self-directed set of courseware lessons interspersed throughout a day of enrichment classes. Three 1-hour courseware lessons and three hours of arts enrichment, along with an hour for lunch and socialization would give students a safe, structured, well-rounded educational experience. Maintaining the school building model would also bode well with tradition-rich communities that have a strong sense of community pride. Let’s face it, Friday night football has become a huge part of American high school culture and it would be foolish to think that it will simply disappear.
