A vision for the future.

DaisyAnneReturns

Do watch them when you have time icanhandthemback, there are two on the future of education.

I find it inspiring when someone in the thick of it explains, but very saddening to hear private education in various countries is well ahead. However, once state/public education expands on those who have already adopted it, it could be a great leveller.

The idea of personalised "gap filling" particularly appeals to me as someone who changed schools often, at a time when the curriculum was not the "across the board" set one it is now.

The Future of Health Care ones are also enlightening.

Who are you to tell us what to watch?

Where the future of health is concerned, I suggest those interested watch the video as there are tables and charts which add to the picture that I couldn't replicate here.

Wyllow, I agree. Getting bogged down in the past will stop us from making the best of the future. Each year I find the Conference worth watching (I still haven't watched all of Conference 2023!) as these people leading the field in their area definitely raise everyone's spirit.

So agree EEjit.

Thank you DaisyAnneReturns I just don't have the energy to respond but was glad to read the thinking on bits and pieces.
The fact that someone like Blair isnt liked (and I'm with folk on Iraq, I left the Party at that point only to rejoin later in austerity) cant to me de-value to the point of "well I just won't listen at all".

Things are so bad we need "blue sky thinking" as to the future.

Thank you, Daisy Anne . I've just finished work, so I'll look/listen later. I feel enthusiastic and excited about the prospect of some radical new approaches in the future. I think most of our organisations and institutions need a thorough overhaul, including politics. Roll on a less combative, more collaborate approach. Plus more creative thinking.

The great thing about the "not for profit" guy is that he can see this as a way of educating the world. This speaker said that the AI could "see" where someone who got well above average marks, had a gap in their knowledge, even though they would have "passed" under the current marking system.

He quoted a situation where the exam was an end-of-semester/end-of-term test on what they were learning during that period. His example was science, but the gap was in previously taught maths - trigonometry in this instance - studied in earlier years but not fully comprehended or remembered. That gap could be filled for that student by the AI, while others would have their own needs met or extended learning undertaken. This would mean that knowledge, as opposed to passing tests, could be raised for everyone.

This was certainly not a "teacherless" system. The teacher would be central. The saving estimated was six teaching hours per week.

...we need to empower them and allow them to do what they came to do which is teach.

That hooked me!

It is interesting that they are using technology that tracks how your mind works because that is one of the ways used to detect ADHD. Imagine not having to fight the school for help in detecting where the system is going wrong for your child when they show signs of otherwise being intelligent or can read and write so there can't be anything wrong. This sort of thing would have helped my son who was only discovered to have a different learning approach to the way he was taught. At Year 9 he was getting the same SAT's levels as he got at Year 6 when he was actually really good at the subject. Now he's not at school and in charge of his own learning, it is amazing what he has achieved. It certainly looks like revolutionary technology we should be exploring but it is also a sales pitch so I am cautious.

I can't stand Tony Blair but regardless of what he did with the war, it doesn't mean he won't ever have another good idea for the rest of his life. The Sure Start programme he set up, the introduction of learning through play, etc for primary school children was very successful so whatever political party you support, if an idea is good, it is worth putting it out there in the hope you can get your Party to consider it.

I couldn’t ever watch anything with that war criminal on. He makes my stomach churn.

Agree wholeheartedly EEjit. That man is the greatest champagne socialist ever. Can't bare to look or listen to him.

EEjit totally agree cannot stand Blair

I wouldn't listen to anything Blair said. This is the man who opened the country to mass immigration, and took us into a war that cost the lives of British soldiers, a war that had nothing to do with us and that has brought terrorism to Britain.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The whole of each TBI annual The Future of Britain Conference is simply that JuBut. The Institute brings together all the leaders of the many areas, regardless of country or politics. That is why I share the video links.

You might find the two on the future of education ground breaking.

EEJit. Agree 100 percent. How can we possibly trust someone like Blair who has put us in the state we’re in now.
Might listen if he were to give some of the millions he has earned to the still injured service men and women.

All of this should be about what their strategy is for our future generations!! My grandson is 4 and the way the parties are going, I don't think anything will be good for my grandson when he's older!!! They all want to get their houses in order ASAP!!!

Our schools collect vast amounts of data on student performance, teaching excellence and school performance – yet waste it. Founder and CEO of AI education company CENTURY Tech Priya Lakhani outlines how AI can use data to radically rethink schools and provide every child with a personalised education

I haven't time to watch the videos now but will watch this later with avid interest. It sounds like something which could well be in the individual student's interest. I know that at my child's private school, the way they analysed the test results each half term, they had some idea where a child was at in each subject but it was still a very broad brush stroke approach. I am all for the best educational approach for every child in this country regardless of where the child is educated.

Thanks growstuff. Even if no one is interested now maybe they well be able to use it as a reference in the future.

This is another insight into where education is going.

I love the idea that this set out to, and appears to be the begining of, "providing not for profit, mission free educstion for any one, anywhere".

From testing early versions of ChatGPT to using it to build an AI learning platform, the Khan Academy has been at the forefront of exploring how generative AI can support learning and teaching. Founder and CEO Sal Khan explains how his globally successful apps can go further, and what the future of education looks like.

Thanks for posting DAR.

😴😴😴

I'm happy to put the information out there Spinnaker. If people are interested, great. If not, that's fine too. But thank you for keeping me company

Looks like you're talking to yourself DaisyAnneReturns

Your welcome Annie. I think these could well appeal to those who liked the Rory Stewart videos.

(I have a feeling it was a two day conference as there were a lot of speakers

Thank you DaisyAnne
