5. software
Bill Joy: software is to give ideas a concrete
form
Dijkstra: the naming of ”Computer Science”
has done great harms
Guido: make everyone able to program, the
future standard of literacy
Christopher Alexander: understanding of life
9. Feedback from customers
Einstein: feel very luck that he was killed by schooling
Mark Twain: I've never let my school interfere with my
education
John Taylor Gatto: teachers are a group of people who
cannot make a living from what they teach
A middle school headmaster: you teachers cannot make a
living if you get out of school
A middle school student: the platform will have no future if it
has anything to do with tests
10. How to meet the needs of learning
Sudbury valley school
My learning in college
My teaching practice at Wuqi School
How software programmers learn how to program
11. Deep analysis
• Is modern education system successful?
• Scaled, easy to operate, needs of mass
production surpass needs of people's
happiness
12. Satisfy needs of learning?
Still don't know how to learn after staying in school more than 10 or
20 years
Isolated from real life
Is it learning to lock people away from life for more than 10 years?
What you can learn in school is only a tiny fraction of what you need
to learn in your life. So it can be ignored
School make people lose the ability to learn
Compulsory schooling, makes students lose sense of the space
School teachers have no true understanding of knowledge, and
thus doesn't know how to apply it flexibly in teaching
The school cannot teach courage. At least it should be able to teach
self-reflection. But it cannot even teach this.
13. My road of exploration
Elearning research
Learning theories in the academic
Alternative learning from American grassroots
practices
Alternative learning from Chinese grassroots
practices
Personal rich learning experiences, learning across
multiple disciplines. First explore what is learning,
then explore what is education, with scientific
attitudes and with software
14. How to imagine the future of
education
The understanding of life
How to create life
15. Refactor
• Internet lowers the threshold, and connect
things
• The new economy needs individuals of
creativity, know how to learn and how to
explore
• The explosive growth of self-production of
social products
• New era calls for new education
16. How internet changes education
• Individual, abstract knowledge out, real life
learning
• Make people who has knowledge teach, make
course preparation easier
• Rich learning resources
• Organizations carry out education responsibility
• Organizations open up inner resources,
internship, apprenticeship
• Rich tools to help build portfolios online

19. Knowledge Engine
Knowledge structure, learning resources,
projects, questions
With these, people can learn by themselves,
choose the best way of learning for
themselves, in their pursuit of happiness
20. What is knowledge
• Result of exploration with software
• Inner core, abstract out
• Need to reflect and make changes often
• Topic, the whole, bottom
• Understanding, stay in touch with reality,
apply knowledge
• Knowledge is flowing structure
21. Real life learning
Learn how to learn from real life learning
Only real life learning promotes independent
thinking and opens up learning space
Learn fastest and best
Courage,observe,understanding,truth.
Topic,classification
What to learn: the most interested, promote
thinking
22. Real life learning
Learning subjects and learning material isolated
from real life are what cause student self-
management crisis
If a student doesn't spend at least 5 times of the
hours the teacher spent teaching, this student is
not worth teaching
Accumulate experiences and infos through a
period of time
Seek knowledge structure of others in
conversation or in reading, seek unfamiliar
knowledge structure in other domains
