🌟Designing education for the edges of learning dimensions can reach and nurture students we couldn't before
What is wrong with designing education for the average student?
—Designing education for the average student destroys talent and fails to nurture individual potential. Students vary in many dimensions of learning, and designing for the average does not accommodate these differences effectively.
How can we design education for individual potential?
—We need to ban the average in education and demand that learning materials are designed to the edges of learning dimensions. This means designing for the full range of student strengths and weaknesses, instead of assuming every student is the same.
How can simple solutions have a profound impact on education?
—Simple solutions, such as adjustable seats for learning, can make a big difference in nurturing individual potential. Basic digital tools like language translation, reading support, and vocabulary assistance can greatly empower students in their learning journey.
How can digital technology help create adjustable learning environments?
—Digital technology provides the opportunity to create learning environments that are flexible and can adapt to the unique needs of each student. Basic features like language translation, reading support, and pronunciation assistance can be integrated into digital learning materials.
Why is it important to reach and nurture students we couldn't before?
—Every student has their own unique talents and potential. By designing education to reach and nurture students who were previously left behind, we can unlock their talent and contribute to a more diverse and talented society.
