“The world is changing. A new
urban migration is under way and
cities will be the places where ideas,
infrastructure and technology
intersect. Smart, connected cities will
be those that first find ways to
encourage a population of smart,
connected people.”

3. “Education is the most reliable
predictor for urban growth. “

“We need to help students to
gradually learn to understand and analyze their
own learning processes, and to take more and
more responsibility over their learning.”
“In the reform, the emphasis set on
collaborative classroom practices will also be
brought about in multi-disciplinary,
phenomenon- and project-based studies.

5. “Encourage students to share
what they’re learning in school and
pursue opportunities outside of the
classroom to “connect the dots” with
what they discuss and discover inside
the classroom.

“This is what Steve Jobs did every day
of his life: he used his intuition to
connect dots of opportunity that
didn’t yet exist.”

time if you’ve worked yourself
enough, your brain starts to draw
connections.
“I hope that when he is six or seven or
eight years old, he gets a chance to be
tutored by his peers, to tutor his
peers, to do projects with the teacher.”
