Media Coverage Minutes Book, Volume 2: The Future of Education Transformed by Digital and Online Technologies Minute Book, Volume 2: The Future of Education Transformed by Digital and Online Technologies
The second volume of the "Minutes Book" series, "Do Children Dream of Electronic Sheep? (2): Tomorrow's Education Transformed by Digital and Online Technologies," is now on sale.
I’m quoting the promotional text exactly as it appears.
"In terms of education utilizing digital technology, Japan is falling behind developed nations and risks being caught up with and overtaken by emerging economies. Let’s leverage the benefits of digital technology to make our classrooms once again at the cutting edge.
Professor Resnick of the MIT Media Lab says, ‘Being able to write code is the same as being able to write.’ CANVAS, where the author serves as chairman, launched a project in 2013 in collaboration with Google to fully expand programming education nationwide. It is not adults who will be using cutting-edge technology—it is the children who will shape the future. Table of Contents: Inspiring Lessons Using Digital Technology / Bill Gates’ Prediction / It All Started with Khan Academy / Programming as a Tool / Educational Reform Through Technology / Smart Education in South Korea / Time Saved Through Efficiency / The Implications of the Kyoto University Cheating Scandal / Current Challenges / The Knowledge Explosion / DiTT’s Action Plan.”
