Why a disruptive education will lead to a brighter future | Adam Webster | TEDxWoking |
|
Can disruptive thinking help students measure success differently and help them develop skills for the future world of work? Adam Webster is Director of Innovation at Caterham School. Over the last 6 years he has overseen a number of projects at the school, including the rollout out of iPads to every student, the introduction of an Innovation Centre for pupils to collaborate, code and build hardware off timetable, and formed the Da Vinci Society which aims to team up students of different ages and specialisms to work together on projects which have real-world value. He has co-authored a book on technology in schools, and is visited regularly by schools around the world, to discuss how to ensure innovation, teaching and learning remain the focus of any technology project. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
