It’s not often that I find myself mopping up the drool originated by news that somehow, manages to titillate my salivary glands.
But that was the case after reading Reuters article on the school of the future. Everything that I’d envisioned a school to be, has apparently been made possible in the form of a public high school in Philadelphia with the help from, guess who…Microsoft. Sweet.
I had a gut feeling Bill Gates was up to something when he was featured on Oprah, discussing the future of education in America.
And now this.
This is just the beginning for what I believe to be many more of such schools. Not just in the US, but across the globe.
Singapore could lead the way for Asia in this sector and I’m hoping it would; because contrary to popular reports, Bratt Pitt and Angelina Jolie are not the perfect couple. That whiff of flattery rightly belongs to technology and education.
