The current education system has become less effective as today's students are adapting to changing technology. Do you need to memorize math equations? No. You have calculators and search engines that exist to help you. What about spelling words? Nope. Every modern device now auto-corrects your spelling. What happens when you empower other students to teach those less experience? Even more exciting, how do you implement this way of teaching into your workplace?
Jason and Mark are joined by Dr. Kevin Berkopes from Crossroads Education to discuss their new "Learning Commons" model. Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, this modern approach to education is going to change the world.
