evolution of education

“Many educators are doing Education 1.0 and talking about Education 2.0, when they should be planning and implementing Education 3.0” – Jackie Gerstein

Education 1.0 is classified by an essentialist, instructivist, pedagogical teaching model based on the 3Rs . Students receive the information by listening to the teacher, respond by taking notes and study, and regurgitate by taking the same assessment.

The similarity between Education 1.0 and Web 1.0 is that the content knowledge is provided in one-way. Teachers play the role of the primary gatekeepers of information and the students are dependent on the information provided by them.

The major cons of this teacher centred model is that there is no or little regard to student interest, that can result in lack of engagement. Students are passive receivers of information and knowledge presented to them. There is no room for differentiation, nor adaptation and all students are evaluated with the help of standardized testing based on a single performance. The teacher-oriented model requires obedience from the students with the teacher having the power.

The issue is that just by incorporating technology, Education 1.0 does not become Education 2.0, nor Education 3.0. Giving students the opportunity to use 21st century technology to access information via ebooks or web sites, taking notes from a video lecture or using technology for drill and grill does not help them develop 21st century skills, such as interacting, commenting, and sharing.

Education 2.0 is classified as an andragogical, constructivist approach to teaching and learning based on the 3Cs : communicating , contributing and collaborating . The similarity between Education 2.0 and Web 2.0 is that both permit interactivity between the teacher and student (the content and users), as well as the student to student, student to content (users themselves) through commenting, remixing and sharing via social networks. Education 2.0 has a humanistic element considering teacher-student and student-student relationships as part of the learning process. The teacher still plays the role of the facilitator of learning and the one who develops learning activities. Some of the progressive steps of Education 2.0 are the project-based learning with a focus on real world problems, inquiry-based learning, cooperative-, and global learning projects with the use of Skype in the classroom, blogs and collaborative digital tools.

Education 3.0 has a heutagogical, connectivist approach to teaching and learning based on 3Cs : connectors , creators , and constructivists .

The similarities between Web 3.0 and Education 3.0 are that Web 3.0 offers richer, more relevant, interactive networked content and Education 3.0 is based on social networking, self-determined learning where learning is based on students’ interest. Education 3.0, by recognizing that each individual’s journey is unique and personalized, meets the learners’ needs. The students are highly autonomous with the educator being the guide on the side who steers students in more productive directions through modelling, sharing and coaching. Although Education 3.0 is often described as a teaching and learning approach for adult learners, with the abundance of open educational resources (OER), younger learners are given the opportunity to engage in self-driven learning as well.

But what is the reason for many educators to do Education 1.0, and talk about Education 2.0, instead of planning and implementing Eduation 3.0?

Looking at the many excuses of a fixed mindset, I do feel guilty because, even though I am trying to move forward, I do think that some of these are relevant issues we, educators are facing. I grew up in Education 1.0 and I will do everything in my power to avoid it. It was everything that made me dread going to school. Thanks to the project I am working on with my classmates, Curtis and Dean on maker spaces and coding, I started seeing ways of taking my classroom to the next level by providing meaningful context to my students. This day, the human element of the Education 2.0 is the most important part of my classroom. Working with EAL students, having strong, trusting relationships with my students and their families is my main focus. I feel I am taking baby steps towards Education 3.0 by focusing on meeting my learners’ needs and providing an opportunity for interest-based learning. I am very fortunate not having to follow a curriculum and not having to mark my students’ work. This really gives me the opportunity to feel like a guide on the side who models and shares strategies. I am reminding myself each and every day to look for opportunities for small changes in teaching and always keep in mind to see “What is in the best interest of the learner”.

Although moving from Education 1.0 towards Education 3.0 is far from being easy, especially during the pandemic, it is important to stay connected and keep moving just like the determined karate kids do during the concrete training!

Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

Great Synthesis of the three different teaching contexts, Web 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0. I agree that it can be difficult to move to 3.0 when many of us were taught in a 1.0 manner. I love that you are using technology with your EAL students. I have a special place for EAL student in my heart and even took the CERTESL degree through the U of S. Are you in the Catholic system? Elementary or highschool? Can we chat some time about the ways you incorporate technology?

Hi Meira, Thank you for your comment. That is AWESOME that you took the CERTESL. I think in today’s society it is crucial to know more about connecting with, and teaching EAL students. I did a Masters certificate program in TESOL and I found it very helpful. I work for the Regina Catholic Schools and I teach students from grades 1-8. I would be more than happy to chat with you and if you are interested in incorporating technology in high school, I have just the right person you can connect with. Please let me know! Thank you! 🙂

Education as it should be – passion-based.

Schools are doing Education 1.0; talking about doing Education 2.0; when they should be planning Education 3.0

Schools are doing Education 1.0; talking about doing Education 2.0; when they should be planning and implementing Education 3.0.

This post seeks to compare the developments of the Internet-Web to those of education.  The Internet has become an integral thread of the tapestries of most societies throughout the globe.  The web influences people’s way of thinking, doing and being; and people influence the development and content of the web.  The Internet of today has become a huge picture window and portal into human perceptions, thinking, and behavior.  Logically, then, it would seem that schools would follow suit in mimicking what is happening via the Internet to assist children and youth to function, learn, work, and play in a healthy, interactive, and pro-social manner in their societies-at-large.

Education 1.0

Most schools are still living within and functioning through an Education 1.0 model.  Although many would deny this, they are focusing on an essentialist-based curriculum with related ways of teaching and testing.

The foundation of essentialist curriculum is based on traditional disciplines such as math, natural science, history, foreign language, and literature. Essentialists argue that classrooms should be teacher-oriented. The teachers or administrators decide what is most important for the students to learn with little regard to the student interests. The teachers also focus on achievement test scores as a means of evaluating progress. Students in this system would sit in rows and be taught in masses. The students would learn passively by sitting in their desks and listening to the teacher.  ( http://www.siue.edu/~ptheodo/foundations/essentialism.html )

This description (1) rings true with a lot of schools in this age of standardization, accountability, NCLB, Race-to-the-Top, Common Core Curriculum Standards, and (2) has a lot of similarity to Web 1.0 . . .

Web 1.0 was an early stage of the conceptual evolution of the World Wide Web, centered around a top-down approach to the use of the web and its user interface. Content creators were few in Web 1.0 with the vast majority of users simply acting as consumers of content.  Web 1.0 webpage’s information is closed to external editing. Thus, information is not dynamic, being updated only by the webmaster.Technologically, Web 1.0 concentrated on presenting, not creating so that user-generated content was not available. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_1.0 )

Web 1.0 came out of our existing mindsets of how information is transferred, and very much reflected the 100+ year history of industrialism, with experts/businesses dispensing identical knowledge/products to mass consumers. http://www.stevehargadon.com/2007/04/web-20-and-school-20-connection.html

Derek W. Keats and J. Philipp Schmidt provide an excellent comparison of how Education 1.0 is similar to Web 1.0.

Education 1.0 is, like the first generation of the Web, a largely one-way process. Students go to [school] to get education from [teachers], who supply them with information in the form of a stand up routine that may include the use of class notes, handouts, textbooks, videos, and in recent times the World Wide Web. Students are largely consumers of information resources that are delivered to them, and although they may engage in activities based around those resources, those activities are for the most part undertaken in isolation or in isolated local groups. Rarely do the results of those activities contribute back to the information resources that students consume in carrying them out. ( http://p2pfoundation.net/Education_3.0 )

Steve Hardigan noted the following in 2007:

Web 2.0 has really been the flowering of new relationships between individuals and businesses, and reflects new ways of thinking that the technology has facilitated or created. It’s about engaged conversations that take place directly, and don’t rely on top-down management, but peer feedback and mentoring. It’s an incredibly effective restructuring of how learning takes place, and somehow we have to figure out how to bring this experience into our learning institutions–or they will become obsolete. (http://www.stevehargadon.com/2007/04/web-20-and-school-20-connection.html )

Similar to Web 2.0, Education 2.0 includes more interaction between the teacher and student; student to student; and student to content/expert.  Some school administrators and educators seem to have taken some steps and moved into a more connected, creative Education 2.0 through using cooperative learning, global learning projects, Skype in the classroom, and shared wikis, blogs and other social networking in the classroom.  But in 2013, this should be the norm not the exception.

Education 3.0

Education 3.0 is based on the belief that content is freely and readily available. It is self-directed, interest-based learning where problem-solving, innovation and creativity drive education.

Education 3.0 is characterized by rich, cross-institutional, cross-cultural educational opportunities within which the learners themselves play a key role as creators of knowledge artifacts that are shared, and where social networking and social benefits outside the immediate scope of activity play a strong role. The distinction between artifacts, people and process becomes blurred, as do distinctions of space and time. Institutional arrangements, including policies and strategies, change to meet the challenges of opportunities presented. There is an emphasis on learning and teaching processes with a focus on institutional changes that accompany the breakdown of boundaries (between teachers and students, higher education institutions, and disciplines) ( http://p2pfoundation.net/Education_3.0 ).

Education 3.0 is a constructivist , heutagogical approach to teaching and learning.  The teachers, learners, networks, connections, media, resources, tools create a a unique entity that has the potential to meet individual learners’, educators’, and even societal needs.

Derek W. Keats and J. Philipp Schmidt further describe the individual components of Education 3.0:

• Wide diffusion of of e-learning
• Growing interest in alternatives to teacher-centred approaches such as constructivism (Dewey, 1998), resource based learning, etc.
• Local, regional, and international collaboration to create repositories of educational content
• Awareness for the need of recognition of prior learning
• Increasing use of the Internet to find information and just in time learning
• Increasing use of information technologies in daily life and for social purposes
• Increasing social use of online virtual spaces
• A new definition of self and society that includes computer mediated social structures, and people outside of one’s immediate physical environment
• The widespread adoption of personal computers and the Internet (especially e-mail and the World Wide Web)
• The emergence of Web 2.0, including blogs, podcasts, social interaction tools, etc.
• E-Learning platforms or learning management systems that incorporate features of Web 2.0
• Free and open source software
• The development of alternative licensing mechanisms to traditional copyright, which promote the use and reuse of (educational) content without requiring further explicit permission by the author or copyright holder or payment of royalties ( http://firstmonday.org/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/1625/1540 )

The one “organized” proactive movement that I know of that is promoting a model of Education 3.0 is Connected Learning: An Agenda for Research and Design:

Connected learning taps the opportunities provided by digital media to more easily link home, school, community and peer contexts of learning; support peer and intergenerational connections based on shared interests; and create more connections with non-dominant youth, drawing from capacities of diverse communities.

All of the pieces of an Education 3.0 are literally freely available for the taking, why aren’t those involved in the planning and implementing of schools integrating these ideas, tools and strategies into their systems?  The time for planning for Education 3.0 was actual yesterday, but doing it now is okay, too.

I totally agree. I just don’t see where the schools, districts, counties, and states are going to get the money that would be needed to retrain the school staff (teachers, administrators, etc.) to do Ed. 3.0. And that assumes we could move away from test-based evaluations, instead of the current efforts in “improving testing”, i.e., making the wrong-thing righter.

The three different components, Web 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 were wonderfully highlighted in this article. Realizing that the school systems do tend to focus on a more Web 1.0 style of learning. However, with the increase of social media and online technology is in the newer generation, this adaptation should be first in implicated in the younger generation then going up. Otherwise completely altering the learning style will be a sudden change, and will take a longer time to accumulate to, rather than it being gradual.

I completely agree. I think it is so important to shift the way school systems operate and teach with the way the world is evolving and the needs of children and learning are changing. Generation Z has grown up with Internet – they don’t know a world without it so it’s important to take advantage of this in a way that will benefit them and their learning.

I agree with what you’re saying. I remember growing up and often being communicated at, instead of there being an active discussion. It’s a very Web 1.0 approach, and can sometimes be ineffective. I do believe the technology and social media that we now have available make use of the Web 2.0 infrastructure in a way that is meaningful but can always be improved.

March 19, 2019 at 6:50 pm

I completely agree with you. We often view technology as a threat to education or damaging to our current communication efforts however when done right I believe technology can further foster communication and make education more inclusive for everyone in the classroom.

I completely agree! I think a gradual change to older generations learning would definitely be a necessity. Introducing it to younger, newer generations will make this kind of learning style their norm as they continue to grow.

I agree with this article and think it did a wonderful job in highlighting web 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0. I feel like the education system a lot of times is working in the same way it did 10 years ago, and thinks need to change. The current world is way more technology dependent and constantly evolving. Therefore, the way people take in information and learn is evolving too. The classic read an article, memorize it, then get tested on it really shouldn’t be the way to learn anymore.

Now fast forward 5 years, we are all adjusting to being completely online and learning digitally! There are a couple different approaches I’ve seen my professors and other educators take with this. For example, one of mine completely follows the Web 1.0 model. Evidentally, the class does not stay engaged, cameras are all turned off, there is no discussion amongst the students and it is very much a “lecture” style. However, a few of my professors are regularly promoting the use of collaboration. Although this is difficult through Zoom, they have found ways to do this. For example, Zoom has breakout rooms, and these are often opened for partnered or small group discussion. Along with this, having weekly discussion boards and frequent small group projects or tasks!

The article does a great job explaining the changes in the different platforms. Unfortunately, there is a lot of resistance to change. As a result, students and teachers might react more adversely to changes. However, it essential to have updated content to allow for a better learning experience. Education 3 is an incredible progress and allows students to enjoy while studying by utilizing resources they use in their daily life. However, it will be very difficult to implement in every high school especially considering the bureaucracy that exists to implement changes.

Syed Azam (EM203-@SAA1197 )

November 18, 2018 at 4:26 am

I completely agree with your point. Just to bring on a point that I think we should look at as well. I have seen quite a few “technologically-oriented” schools that tried to implement certain elements of social media, technology, and discussion boards. While I applaud these schools for making the effort, sometimes, they do not understand the value of technology in learning. Thus, we get situations where students get even more confused in learning because of some convoluted “technologically-advanced” way fo learning. Therefore, the first step I believe is to truly appreciate the value of technology in learning. then we can effectively implement Education 3.0.

Henry Xu (@henry_xu30)

November 21, 2018 at 4:38 pm

Education 3 is undeniably where we need to be. I think we are moving towards that though. For example the EM203 course I am in currently involves a lot of freedom and options in the way I can get information and interact with my peers. That being said it is much easier to implement a course like this in university but it is much harder to change the education 1 systems in place in middle school and high school.

Reshma Suresh (EM203--@EM203RSuresh)

March 23, 2019 at 3:55 am

I think your comment highlights a key issue in implementing education/web 3.0 in all schools. Many schools, they are located in more rural neighbourhoods without access to as many new resources that could support this style of learning. Similarly, it may not be possible with the school’s budget to afford the resources to implement this style of learning for all of the students. As a result, I think although education 3.0 is what we should be striving for, there needs to be more support for greater funding towards education to help all schools and students make the transition to this new and revolutionized style of learning most effective for the 21st century

Anmol Gill (EM203)

March 22, 2022 at 2:12 am

I agree with your thoughts! Although it’s going to be very difficult to change every single school/teachers out there to start adopting the Education 3 model I do hope to see some changes. Well we are already seeing much changes in the world we live in today due to COVID-19. I feel as though a wide range of school whether they wanted to or not had to adopt a new way of education (Education 3) as most courses has switched to online learning and the use of social media platforms and letting students take control of their own learning was in full effect. Now we’ve seen both the ups and all the downs that come with this sort of learning because before this students (like myself) were used to the typical Education 1 style of learning because as you said rarely does everything change in every school. So when we started to all the sudden change to Education 3 type of learning it was shocking and somewhat difficult. However I can speak for myself when I say I love this kind of learning better now that I’m used to it and continue to look forward to see how schools slowly implement more and more of the Education 3 style.

Web 3.0 does make learning more of an interactive activity rather than a chore, which at the end of the day will benefit the education of the learners. I think a possible solution to your question about funding for retraining could occur from the savings Web 3.0 creates. It was mentioned in the table that in Web 3.0 utilization of hardware and software will be everywhere and that will drive down costs for hardware and technology. I think the savings from here could be allocated to retraining school staff.

Muhammad Hassan (@EM203Mhassan)

November 25, 2018 at 2:29 am

I agree, Web 3.0 is a great way to make learning more fun. Along with this, its great that it allows for individuals to get a more unique learning experience. Not everyone learns the same way, and so, having some control over how you do your work allows learning to be more effective and efficient.

EM203 Taranbeer Dosanjh

March 25, 2019 at 3:02 am

I agree with your comments on web 3.0. I am really excited about the impacts it will have on future learners. It is so important that we recognize that everyone learns differently!

@EM203Sgallagher

July 13, 2019 at 5:51 pm

I completely agree that Web 3.0 tools make learning more interactive for users which, in turn, will benefit learners as they may feel more inclined to engage with these tools as this type of learning does not necessarily feel like an obligation. However, we know that every person learns differently so although this type of tool might benefit someone like me, it might not benefit someone who does not learn the most efficiently through collaboration.

EM203 Claire Higgins

March 20, 2023 at 6:46 pm

Great article. I think the best approach is the Education 3.0. It comes at a time where technology is becoming an increasing part of our life and it seems like we will continue to follow that trend. Incorporating technology in learning should prove to be very effective as it will teach digital literacy and it will be easy for students to grasp the concepts as many are already familiar with the use of technology. The difficult in this could be separating the learning from the pleasure of technology since many students assume that technology resembles enjoyment.

Sam Wortzman EM203

March 20, 2019 at 1:09 pm

I believe technology is enhancing students ability to learn new things, as it gives them access to loads of information in just a click of a button. The education system is still pretty involved in Education 1.0, as it is still very dominated by the teacher being superior to the students. I believe this is important in some cases; however, I think it would be beneficial for students if learning was sometimes more collaborative. Therefore, ideas are brought together and makes learning more diverse and interesting. In order to do this, online technological tools need to be implemented into primary, secondary, and most importantly post-secondary learning systems.

Rebecca Vitello (EM203)

July 12, 2019 at 2:52 am

I agree with your comment Sam. Technology is continuing to become a large part of education and is used every day in classrooms. I believe that the use of technology in the classroom will only continue to increase in the near future. As you stated, incorporating technology into education allows students to learn in a new way, and apply technology they are familiar with to their school work. I believe there are many positive aspects of using technology in the classroom.

Alexa Burak EM203

November 14, 2019 at 2:02 pm

I agree that it is important for children to learn and explore their boundaries in school, while also undergoing occasional testing. I do believe testing is important to make sure that children are on track with their learning and this helps target areas that need more work. Allowing children to learn at their own pace and explore their boundaries will encourage learning for students and they will be more interested in what they are learning. I believe that a combination of explored learning and testing is ideal for students today.

Madison Ames

July 14, 2019 at 2:48 pm

I totally agree with this comment! I like the idea of students learning/teaching themselves through the digital world with help from teachers, but I believe it is important to incorporate teacher-student interactions. Mixing both ideas 2.0 and 3.0 would encourage the change that is needed in educational systems while still keeping some of the important aspects of school.

Hanna (@EM203_HYOKICH)

March 15, 2022 at 10:22 pm

Similar to you Madison, I think it’s important to encourage children to learn in a manner that works best for them is really important. I think testing is a good way to gain a general idea if children are learning what they should be, but I don’t think it is the end all to determine patterns of learning. I think there needs to be a way to merge certain aspects of 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 to create an ideal learning environment that still contains the beneficial traditional aspects in the interwebs but permits new ideas and growth going forward.

Mackenzie Schuler EM203

July 13, 2023 at 4:48 pm

I agree with that, although over the last few months, I think that this transition has been accelerated because of COVID. I’ve noticed many teachers adopting technologies and methods that can help them get to 3.0 faster.

EM203etaimizrahi

November 25, 2020 at 6:20 pm

I agree, I think the only way to retrain and restructure for education 3.0 is gradually implementing new steps over time. I also think we are going to still need test based evaluations.

Riley Doiron

November 20, 2022 at 1:37 am

So the ideas here are intriguing, just wondering how you get there for the existing system. How would you respond to the retention rate for online courses, say? Is this intended to extend to secondary and primary education? How would you respond to ethical issues like differential access?

1Revelations117

March 23, 2013 at 1:46 am

I would get there one step at a time. As noted in the case studies in the Connected Learning research report, there are pockets of innovation that are “practicing” Education 3.0 right now. If more teachers and program administrations would publicize their Education 3.0 implementations, more school leaders would have case studies to use as a reference; for ideas. FYI – some of the case studies in the report have a focus of lower income youth.

March 23, 2013 at 2:29 pm

Hi Jackie, Your post about Education 1.0-3.0 tools was very interesting! I found that in recent times, things have been shifting more to Web 2.0/3.0. As from my educational experience in high school and university, there have been many instances where each student has their own opinion, and classmates are able to share their thoughts with each other through discussion posts, social media communication, and presentations. Furthermore I am using a lot of these tools in a course I am taking about digital technologies! Despite the change in the web, I feel it is important to maintain the education tradition of teaching with Ed 1.0 to some extent.

March 23, 2013 at 2:21 pm

Such a clear and concise position on where we are and where we can be; I appreciated your post so much I’ve cited it in our school blog to help the parents of our students understand how and why we are moving towards the web 3.0 world in our school. Thanks for posting!

Brian Harrison

March 23, 2013 at 3:44 pm

I definitely agree with your post and this blog, it is very well stated. I to do believe that schools are still stuck teaching in the Web 1.0 style and as technology grows there should be an adaptation in schooling as well. I think now more so than ever schools should start to further adapt the Web 3.0 style from a younger age rather than an older age. This would allow young children to grow into the advancements and begin to learn by connecting more with others. If children are brought up to learn by connecting with others this will allow them to be even more knowledge as they grow older as they will learn from a vast group of ideas and outlooks.

Victoria Ambrosio (@EM203victoriaa)

March 21, 2017 at 1:55 am

I agree, Victoria! Schools need to catch up with all the growing forms of technology and use them to their advantage. With technology becoming a huge role in today’s society, many students become accustom to these ways of interaction. When they are presented with reading from textbooks/writing notes they tend to lose focus or not gain as much from the task.

November 28, 2017 at 4:53 pm

I totally agree with your post. If schools aren’t keeping up to date with what is current, then their students wont learn and it will just set them back. All students need to be taught with Web 3.0 and I agree with your point about starting with younger children rather than older.

March 19, 2018 at 11:17 pm

I agree with you that schools should start to adapt the Web 3.0 style from a younger age rather than an older age. I personally believe that since this blog post was written in 2013, we can see a great shift towards a Web 2.0 style. Many schools are starting to promote group activities, and encourage the use of collaborative platforms such as Google Docs. While I believe Web 2.0 has been well implemented in many schools, I believe we still have a long way to go in terms of adapting to a Web 3.0 system.

Ariel M (@EM203AMizrahi)

November 16, 2018 at 5:31 pm

I definitely see where you are coming from Victoria. It is important for us to be teaching the younger generations in the cutting edge ways offered by Web 3.0 in order to keep up with the rest of society’s technological advances. Today I can already see a shift in education towards Web 2.0 as more technology such as class Wikis are being integrated into the educational system. Despite this step forward in technology for education, boundaries should continuously be pushed in order to keep working towards reaching a place where Web 3.0 is completely integrated into the education system.

November 17, 2018 at 10:51 pm

I definitely agree with your main points and also believe that this a very informative article. Most schools specifically those for younger children and heavily lacking in their ability to adapt and. This blog outlines a step by step approach on how and why schools need to are failing to take advantage of the technology and resources available. From a personal experience, although technology was readily available, in my early years of school I found myself learning through the Web 1.0 approach. Entering university, I strongly believe that if my school had been more focused on Web 3.0, I would have been far more prepared and better equipped to be successful. Overall, schools need to be far more effective in taking advantage of able resources and adapting their styles to better shape them minds of young children.

EM203DPLANT (@plan6990)

November 19, 2018 at 7:02 pm

I totally agree Victoria. Technology is continually advancing and has become a large part of students lives. This technology allows young learners to connect with others which can play an important role in education. I also think as our society becomes more technologically centered it may motivate young learners when their education incorporates something they’re excited about. Bringing in technology can get students involved in their learning which is essential to good education.

November 20, 2018 at 3:18 pm

I agree with you Victoria! Schools must try push away from Web/Education 1.0 systems and begin to upgrade to Web 3.0 styles. Schools should adapt to the rise of technology and incorporate it into students lives. Technology can excite people, especially learners, and when technology is prevalent in the classroom, students will be more eager to learn while also being more comfortable. As a personal experience, my high school English class incorporated Twitter into the classroom where we would learn by interacting with our peers, as well as our teacher!

I wholeheartedly agree with the idea of implementing a Web 3.0 approach at a younger age. I think its important for children to learn and grow this way, especially with all the technological advancements. Not only is a child more imaginative, but this will also allow them to generate communication skills and a broader form of insight. I think children are very sheltered in how they learn, specifically with them being taught in a lesson, completing the work assigned, doing homework, and leaving it simply at that. Especially with technology and social media becoming such a big part in everyone’s daily routines, even in young children, the lack of collaboration will cause a major decline for them later in life.

Hi Victoria! I completely agree that teaching is in the Web 1.0 style. I feel that especially with the pandemic we are facing, education has been hit hard and it is now more important than ever for schools to adopt a new technological lens.

I agree with you. This post highlights the differences between the 1 types of school types very well. I encourage the world 3.0 in our school!

March 15, 2018 at 2:11 am

I definitely agree that schools should begin to use Web 3.0 as it really involves students to collaborate amongst each other. Additionally, the use of computers is so prominent in today’s society which is why people should become comfortable using all forms of technology in their learning and development.

Great article, I completely agree with you! With the recent advancements in technology, Web 3.0 is the better and more interactive teaching style. Allowing students to learn through technology allows them to grasp certain concepts better and becomes more convenient due to the ease of making connections. The Web 1.0 style seems to be outgrown by the day, schools should start to adapt to the Web 3.0 style for students of all ages as the younger generation seems to be very interested in technology as well.

I agree with you that schools are behind even today on keeping up with the latest technology as many still use Web 1.0 I hope for more schools to adapt the Web 3.0 standard so that we can promote greater collaboration and foster innovation.

As I was taught, learning takes place after children develop a relationship with an adult learner — the teacher. In order to foster that relationship, it is important for the adults in the school — teachers, administration, staff and parents — to have healthy relationships, too. This relationship building has the ultimate goal of nurturing the natural curiosity for learning that all students have at the earliest ages, and rekindle that flame when it has been put out. How does Web 3.0 fit into the model of learning?

John Stewart

March 23, 2013 at 10:28 pm

If you look both at the chart comparing the three and the connected research report to which I refer, the adults become co-learners, mentors, coaches, resources providers to the youth. This role develops deeper and richer relationships than that of the information disseminater, sage on the stage, authoritative figure that is common to Education 1.0.

March 23, 2013 at 10:32 pm

My experience with CS101 from udacity.com is that it is possible to just focus on the video lessons and associated assignments, but if that’s all you do, you’ll only get a tiny fraction out of the course compared to what you could be getting. An important other component is the “forum” where you can post questions and see other people’s questions and post answers, and vote questions and answers up or down to make great questions rise to the top and the best answers to a question similarly rise up from the pack. In my opinion, interacting with the other students in the forum is a vitally important part of the course. It doesn’t directly show up in your “grade”, but the software does give you badges and karma points according to what you accomplish on the forum. (e.g. if someone votes up one of your answers, that is worth 15 points. If the original asker of a question “accepts” your answer as resolving what they were asking, that’s 25 points). The points encourage you to stay active in the forum and endeavor to post quality answers.

But this is where we get the disconnect. Students (and particularly Gen X and Baby Boomer adult students) do not “see” their “teachers”, “professors”, “instructors” as “co-learners” and “coaches” happily travelling the kindly road of knowledge, holding hands together. The reality is that students, sad to say, have long experience of what they need to do – find out what is required to “pass the test’, “complete the assignment” and get the grade or academic credit. The very definition of “professor” ‘professor’ comes from Latin, its ancestor being ‘profiteor’, which means ‘to declare or acknowledge openly’. From this the Latin word ‘professor’ is derived, meaning ‘an authority. When I acknowledge to my students that “I don’t know”, that I am a “co-learner” in their learning journey, I get laughed out of court, or worse, my students regard me as “not properly trained”, and not qualified. What! – the Professor doesn’t know! Well, why am I bothering taking a class with a professor who is not an authority. There is a lot more to Education 2.0 and 3.0 than simply rolling out some interesting and hopefully fun technologies.

April 27, 2013 at 3:14 pm

Rapport between educator and learner is important for learning to flourish. I like that the 3.0 model still has the educator as a resource to connect to and offers the benefits of connected learning in Education 3.0.

EM203 Melanie

November 17, 2018 at 6:12 pm

Its not just the teachers that need to be trained…its the complete change in culture: school, business, world. I have students who have their fists tightly grasping a syllabus and are afraid to go off in a direction because they might not learn what they are supposed to. We are so exam driven, especially in the IB, when teaching internationally. Cram and jam, take the exam. I don’t see this changing. Yes we have the freedom to be innovative, we have financial resources, we experiment with new ways of acquiring knowledge in the lower grades, but once a kid hits the Diploma it is back to sit down, shut up, and cram.

March 24, 2013 at 7:53 am

Great point… I will admit to be one individual who is scared to stray from the syllabus. I do believe that the thoughts regarding web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 leave us with some food for thought. It is interesting to see the way in which education could be going and what we need to do to get it there. I do not believe that web 3.0 is out of reach… we can and will change the way of education!

Jennifer Davies (@EM203jdavies)

March 19, 2016 at 3:24 am

Agreed! 3.0 is definitely achievable with some extra effort on behalf of both the professor and teacher but 1.0 is too common in my own personal experiences. The number of times students are simply required to memorize and recite content word for word out of the textbook is a little sad to see not to mention ineffective for a deeper understanding of the content.

Jeff Christensen

November 15, 2018 at 9:52 pm

I completely agree! I, myself being a university student, have been afraid to stray from initial instructions given through the syllabus. Although change is hard, we need to help progress the system from Web 1.0 to Web 3.0 and facilitate learners going outside the box. Giving people more freedom in the way they learn and explore new information will be a positive thing in the long term I think, so let’s help people do this as they get more experienced in their academic careers, not only in elementary or middle school.

March 21, 2019 at 5:46 pm

I can relate to what you have said, Mrs.Ralf, in my personal experience. I feel that I base my personal values on my test scores, and if I get a grade that I am not happy with, I would think of myself as being a poor student in general, even if it was just one of my grades. Going from what I watched on the news, many students in China and South Korea are judged from their test scores on whether if they advance in their education, and this has added a lot of extra pressure on them. On average, Asian students only get about 5 hours of sleep a night because of too much studying. In general, I feel that too many education systems rely on this method rote learning where the teacher teaching some content, the students learning and practising the content, and then pupils get tested on what was covered. This does not allow students to actively engage in learning through creative input and discussion/collaboration with other peers, which is needed if students want to stay motivated in their education.

March 18, 2022 at 7:55 pm

An interesting visual take on the existing problem of meaningful technology use in the classroom. While articulating the topic is helpful, believing that it will change learning opportunities for students is the key to moving toward infusion into daily educational use, and, it will have to somehow provide evidence that using technology is not only engaging, but that when students use it they score better on normed assessments.

March 24, 2013 at 4:47 pm

I disagree… many of us were creating content in “Web 1.0” … as far back as the mid 1990’s. The power of the Internet is that it allowed obsessionists to become the respected experts in even the narrowest of niches. We wrote wikis and created websites, using technology to collaborate and express ourselves as never before.

March 25, 2013 at 5:12 am

Heutagogy, a word that I did not know that I knew. When you say ‘Doing 1.0’, ‘Talking 2.0’ and ‘should be planning 3.0’ I could not agree with you more. There are the outliers at each extreme, but the majority are 1.0, while a lot of us are 2.0 and I think a lot of us are talking 3.0, but are unable to actually visualize what that looks like or how to get there. I would like to think that those who are here taking to read blogs like the one you have written and think about the future of education are those between 2.0 and 3.0. Sadly, I believe that until policy is changed, autonomy is returned and trust is given to educators, 3.0 learning will only be provided to a small few and never become the norm.

March 26, 2013 at 4:52 am

Really interested in your 3.0 idea because I have been expanding out particularly my online classes in terms of 2.0. However, I am an educator that in the adult education space for government employees. My experience is that you need both students and faculty prepared to engage in 3.0 education, and for the most part we have neither. Please don’t get me wrong. I like the ideas of 3.0.

However, my students have been totally socialized in 1.0 education practice (which by the way is not just conformist but stresses competition as the way to motivate students to higher performance). They are steeped in it. Trying to get them to co-create, to collaborate from this attitudinal start point is challenging. For the 90th percentile, they just want you to give them the answers. They are more concerned with the instructions to do an assignment, and making sure they follow the form and format, than they are on moonshot-style projects and creating shared products as a learning experience.

Education 2.0/3.0 is dependent upon students opening their minds to new possibilities. I find that most of my adult students’ minds are firmly closed and are usually dissatified with you don’t just give them the “A” that they have come to expect.

Education 2.0/3.0 is dependent upon faculty who have been given the time, the support, the freedom and encouragement to experiment with new learning artifacts. When I first started to develop my on-linen courses, I naively assumed that there would be a couple of great web-sites where I could go to, to find a massive repository of great 2.0 learning artifacts, templates that I could just drop over into my courses and tailor to suit my particular learning outcomes that I was trying to help my students achieve. Wrong.

There is no such thing. We are all experimenting with new ideas in Virtual Worlds, using Youtube, designing online games, etc. So what happens for mainstream faculty who have no idea about these things, and for the most (at least in my institution) have little to zero desire to dive into this mud puddle. In fact, Education 2.0 is viewed as an existential threat to their way of life and teaching. We don’t reward Education 2.0 innovation; we don’t even want to recognize that a few of us are actually doing it. We label innovators as weird, crazy, stupid for wasting time on seemingly poorer, less effective, clutsy, difficult course design and development exercises.

Formula – Empowered, experimenting faculty + open-minded, curious, forward-learning students. What a combination – then you can really do world-changing stuff!

April 27, 2013 at 2:05 pm

You have an excellent and sadly accurate analysis – I especially appreciate your concluding comment:

I found this post to be extremely interesting. I liked how you talked about how in today’s school system students are being encouraged to compete which in turn results in high performing students. I am currently in university and I can certainly attest to this being true as programs have strict requirements you have to meet in order to complete your degree. I have seen this result in individuals getting so caught up in their grades that they fail to recognize the depth and importance of the project in regards to their future endeavors and learning initiatives.

Emily Gallant (EM203)

March 14, 2018 at 3:06 pm

I agree with your comment Emily, the school system today has put a focus on grades rather than ensuring students are educated. This focus results in increased pressure and stress on students as they attempt to maximize their grades to be successful. I find that in schools, the focus is on Web 1.0 and 2.0 to deliver material in the most efficient way rather than exploring other options like Web 3.0 and delivering material effectively.

Kyle Dhillon (EM203)

March 21, 2018 at 2:43 am

I agree with what you said, Emily. I know so many people that overlook what they are learning and will basically just cram all the information to get the highest mark they can. Once they have gotten through the test they completely forget the information and therefore can not utilize it later in the workplace. I believe students should worry less about getting high marks and focus more on learning information in-depth so that it can help them in the future.

Quite interesting reading. Let me first say that though I am not a traditionally trained educator, I can say that your article “hits the nail on the head”. As a career changing opportunity, I began teaching in 2010…in China!! I began with teaching English to graduate students in the 1.0 mindset; thinking that is what students wanted/needed. About halfway through my first semester, I discovered they were more interested in “how to learn” vs “what to learn”. Having no book, no background, and no direction, I immediately fell back on my graduate education in city planning and urban development. This training was firmly based on Education 2.0. With that, I also have a military background which, believe or not, was loosely based on Education 3.0.

I am now in on the back half of my third year and i can say with some conviction that fully integrated Education 3.0 is a long way off(probably less so for developing countries as many can start from a “clean slate”). With that being said, now that I am experimenting with project/flipped classroom learning(I would probably call it a 2.0/3.0 blend), I am now beginning to see some of my student flourish in ways i didn’t expect.

Marcus Davis (@marcellmarcus)

Excellent report about education! I live and teach English in Argentina, and I can say that education, specially in public schools, has nothing to do with the reality that students find in their daily life. I totally agree with this: “The teachers, learners, networks, connections, media, resources, tools create a unique entity that has the potential to meet individual learners’, educators’, and even societal needs.” I was trained with the 1.0 system, but I´m aware of the evolution of society and the needs are different from those 10 or 20 years back. So I feel that we teachers have the power to help the young generations to face this new reality.

July 18, 2013 at 1:47 pm

I really liked the post and the comments. I think most of the frustration that was expressed is due to structural/cultural limitations/shortcomings that were built into the current mass-education system. Yes, that system achieved great things, ie. mass literacy.

This in turn begs the question: what type of educational system will support/is demanded by education 3.0.

Maybe it will look more like an apprenticeship model? Maybe there will need to be a more direct link with (all sorts of) organizations instead of keeping the school in its own bubble? Maybe the parents will be required to play a more hands-on approach (instead of the daycare model)?

August 25, 2013 at 5:01 am

Excellent article Jackie. Many thanks. I came across this as I am researching at the moment. Would it be okay if I borrow and accredit some of your thoughts for our background page?

We are building an open free learning platform launching in May, where we are aiming to deliver a heutagogical model/approach in practice. As you say, why not take all the best avaliable content and technologies from the web and build a place where the learner, and the learning community as a whole, is in control? And why not make it with all formats, and open to all.

Joi Ito in his 2014 TED talk used another analogy I like to describe the different in starting point:

“Education is what people do to you and learning is what you do for yourself”

For the same reasons you describe above, we have therefore also decided to start outside the established institutions and formal system. We want to get the learners on board first, and start with their curiosity and engagement in the learning experience (3.0) over a fixed curriculum (1.0)

We hope and think the world is ready.

March 25, 2014 at 1:47 am

Nice re: you building an open learning platform based on a heutagogical approach. Use anything you want from me – I have it under creative commons only asking for attribution. I hope you end up documenting-blogging about about your process . . . and Joi Ito rocks!

March 25, 2014 at 1:50 am

Education1.0, 2.0 ND 3.0 are all the effective teaching ways. However, methods and things should be upgraded and improved according to the different period of time. From the past comments, I do think someone enjoyed and experienced the 1.0 method of teaching. From my perspective, when I was in primary school, I did enjoy the process of teachers speaking in the front of the class, and other students just listen. After I went into high school, methods change to 2.0. Social networks and discussions are more encouraged and we learnt lots of things from internet i.e. the world outside us. Now we are in the period of 3.0, learning as creators, instructors and communicators. We could connect to the people in different areas, no matter you know them or not. And during the process, you analyze more and learn more, which means when you study, the whole word is around you.

March 16, 2015 at 8:07 pm

Nicely said – thanks!

March 16, 2015 at 8:47 pm

It’s interesting that although Education 3.0 and even Education 2.0 engage the students in a more interactive manner, yet many people still are afraid to attempt it. If students are actively engaged and attempting to find more information it can only help their education and in turn the teacher.

As a student, my mind has been opened to how boring my classes really are when Professors deliver materials in an education 1.0 or 2.0 way. I always wonder why I sometimes loose my passion for learning and that is exactly why. When students become inactive in their learning, there is no real learning going on. Only filling their heads with unnecessary information. I hope that when I am done my undergrad and go to teachers college that I am taught 3.0 educational teaching methods. I would never want to put other students through 1.0 or 2.0 education. I want to continue on good educational values and methods and keep up with the present time.

Gillian Lynch

March 20, 2015 at 9:43 pm

I agree – thanks for your post! As a teacher and teacher educator, I say create a classroom you wished you had as a student. This is the goal with my teaching as is true with you, I was painfully bored during my K-College education. So when you go to your teachers’ college and then into teaching, keep this is mind and go for facilitating Education 3.0!

March 20, 2015 at 9:46 pm

I like the concept of referring to education 1.0 or 2.0 as inactive learning for students because that describes it perfectly. Teachers who are slow to adapt to Web 3.0 concepts make it difficult for students to do genuine learning and to gain understanding beyond theoretical knowledge. Web 3.0 is practical, engaging and collaborative and the future of learning, hopefully more institutions adapt to it sooner rather than later.

I am a university student and I found this article very interesting. After reading the article and reflecting on my classroom experiences I have realized that some of my professors are still teaching in the Web 1.0 format. It is frustrating to think that with all of the resources available today, I am still going and sitting in class to passively listen to a lecture and then leave. Some of my other professors have started using the techniques described in Web 2.0, but I agree that Web 3.0 should definitely be the goal.

Carly Moreau

March 21, 2015 at 5:05 pm

While the ideas presented regarding Education 3.0 are very interesting, I am curious about whether or not this would be easily implemented in schools. If teachers are not grading students on tests I am unsure about how students will be graded. Yes, Education 3.0 does seem very engaging, but I have to wonder if all of the students would truly be into this teacher process. This is a very new idea to me, I would love to see someone attempt this teaching style and report back on the results.

March 21, 2015 at 5:35 pm

Thank you for this! As a university student who attended elementary school in the 1980s, I am all too familiar with the Education 1.0 format / teaching model. I feel that the education system has ignored the call for “upgrading” to Education 3.0 for far too long. Every generation of students is becoming more and more advanced in their use of technology and they need intellectual stimulation – adhering to the Education 1.0 model in today’s world is simply not enough for students to realize their full potential. After all, the Education 1.0 system’s goal seems to be to produce “good drones” to fill positions in “menial” jobs – these jobs have been declining in demand since before I was born. Here’s to the future!

Patricia Clark (@EM203pclark)

March 21, 2015 at 8:18 pm

This article is great! As I read along I could see myself agreeing with how the education model has started to shift from Education 1.0 format to Education 2.0 and now gradually Education 3.0. As a university student who was attending elementary school when the technology and internet boom hit I can see how some teachers have adapted to the changes in teaching style and have subsequently transformed their classrooms and the way lessons are taught. I still notice now that many of my post -secondary professors are still teaching in the Education 1.0 way and like others have said I find myself unable to maintain interest in what is being discussed due to the way its taught. On the other hand I do find that there are a few professors I have had in my university careers that center their course format around the Education 3.0 model and I find I am both able to maintain interest, grow interest, knowledge and attain a variety of skills from such courses. The Education 3.0 that has been described in the article is exactly how I have always pictured a classroom to be /should be.It is what I want my classroom to prescribe to after I gain my teaching degree. It enables students to become the teacher, to profit from their own abilities and to show/discuss with others what the know . Most of all it makes them enjoy learning . So let us hope that Education 3.0 is a go for the future of the classroom ! Thank you !

I’ve always thought that there was a better way to make education not just more enjoyable but more “useful” in a way. I only attended high school here in Canada, so my elementary school days in a third world country is very much hard-line Education 1.0 where we were essentially force-fed a ton of stuff and we were supposed to find a way to handle all of it. It got a little better when I came to Canada, and most of my classes in university is essentially in 2.0 with the professors letting everyone learn from each other and outside sources as they oversee it. However, it’s still not very practical. There are even some courses that the professors themselves acknowledge will not be used outside of academia. I really do think universities at least should start to hear about what the students want to learn, not enforce what has been going on for the past 10 years. Nowadays the only way we can signal that something is wrong with the course is if everyone gets a disturbingly low mark, but it shouldn’t be like that. More practical and engaging classes are hopefully what will allow the next generation to get much more from their education

I can now understand how the education model has shifted from Education 1.0 to Education 2.0 and then to Education 3.0. I think it is very useful for both teachers and students when the teacher adjusts their teaching technique to involve more modern technologies to help teach their students; this makes the course more relevant and interesting to the students. The Education 3.0 that has been described in the article is exactly how I have always pictured a classroom to be /should be. It enables students to become the teacher, teach them to learn on their own and they can continue learning forever. Great Topic! thanks!

I love how this article breaks up Education 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 in a very clear manner. I agree that in many schools, especially high school and postsecondary, educators are conducting classrooms through Education1.0. I personally enjoy being a student in an Education 2.0 course because the instructor provides useful knowledge and direction, which allows me to expand my understanding of the subject matter. I concur that this this should be how the majority of current classes should be guided. Education 3.0 has become a reality to many people as soon as they step out of their school walls.

I love how this article highlights the changes in the educational system throughout time. From 1.0 to 2.0 and 3.0. The educational system is changing but everyone is not necessarily changing with it. Being a university student I have many profs who’s teaching style is still 1.0, even though times are changing many educators are not. As sad as it is they are fewer profs I have encountered who go by 3.0, but those who do, maintain the interest of the students, along with growing greater knowledge about the course. The 3.0 model is what a perceive a classroom should be, its a innovative, brillant model that is going to maintain and keep the interest of the students in todays time.

This article is so clear and precise! I find this very helpful as an aspiring future teacher. I think sometimes learning and regurgitating is what is expected of us but it isn’t worst going to school if you are not understanding and becoming knowledgable on the subject and having a passion for it! Teaching and learning has definitely come further with technology and being able to stay more connected with our teachers and other classmates, this creates a place where we can better understand things like homework even when we are not right there in the classroom and provides a way to ask questions whenever you are wondering what to do or how things work instantly! In education 3.0 you find people with the same interests as you and can relate a lot better 🙂

March 23, 2015 at 9:45 pm

I enjoyed reading this article as I found it was helpful and eye opening to see that the way I am being taught in classes isn’t the best way to learn and to use the resources that are constantly being upgraded and developed. As long as I can remember I have also being taught using Education 1.0, when I have never learned that way. I enjoy researching and learning at my own pace and I find that only when I learn independently or through collaboration do I develop a passion for learning. Being lectured to and trying to regurgitate information back through standardized testing does not work. It makes me happy that there is more research and investigating into the new ways of learning through Education 2.0 and more importantly 3.0, and that as we move forward education can continue to grow for learners!

March 24, 2015 at 8:03 pm

This article was eye opening to the many types of teaching. I think resources should be used on the internet to further students learning. Since all student learn in a different way, all options of learning should be available for students. I have been taught education 1.0 and found that education has come a long way. This type of learning I found to be less useful for me personally. Since coming to university I have found that education is more hands on and online. This makes information easily accesable and I find it great to refer back too. Education 2.0 and 3.0 have become used more often, I think we should continue to move forward and advance learning! This article was very useful and showed me the multiple ways of learning and what is best for me!

March 30, 2015 at 8:27 pm

This article was very interesting to read. I come from a family full of teachers, some of them are new to the profession where as others have been teaching for many years. Teaching and learning have come a long way over the past several years and it is important to note that changes are happening within the classroom. Education 1.0 is very teacher oriented, a one on one sort of practice. Education 2.0 is more interactive, as it includes more “interaction between the teacher and student; student to student; and student to content/expert”. With our growing digital culture it is very important that teachers and students realize that they way information spreads is over a number of different texts and forms. Education 3.0 is based on the notion that content is freely and readily available and with the internet we know that kids who have access to an internet connection have an entire breadth of knowledge available at their fingertips. I think it is important for teachers to stay true to their roots, therefore Education 1.0 but I believe it is imperative and crucial that teachers begin to supplement their learning styles with education 2.0 as well as 3.0 methods. As I mentioned before we are currently in the midst of a digital revolution and it is important that teachers take advantage of the breadth of knowledge students have access to by incorporating it into their teaching methods.

What an interesting read! Thank you! I found the various visuals helpful. It was very clear to follow the path of Education 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 and connect with my experiences. Although my elementary and high school education was mainly Education 1.0, I was fortunate that many teachers encouraged collaboration and inquiry based learning. As a post-secondary student, I believe many of my professors are teaching in the Education 1.0 way. Quite often I am unable to maintain interest in the course content and lectures, and I am not retaining as much information as I do when collaborating with my peers. The course that led me to this article, EM203, used the Education 3.0 way. I am able to maintain my interest as there are many internet nodes used, and I am connecting with my peers. I believe that children learn from one another. Children who learn from each other can understand, connect and challenge one another. Many children love to teach others. As one does so, he/she is not simply teaching others, but rather he/she is further engraining that thought in his/her own head.

Very interesting! In a course I am studying in university, we were asked to explain how we see the schooling system in a few years. As I look back on my description, and what R read in this article there is a strong correlation, between what I said and this article. Defining the timeline between the education systems (1.0 – 3.0) and the visuals presented in this article, has cemented the evidence of the our changing educational system. With courses such as EM203 creating an early bridge between 2.0 and 3.0 allows us students to get a headstart into what is to come, while giving us the opportunity to build on its foundation for the next generation, through feedback. It also is a good way to keep me interested, I had my doubts about online courses before I started university and I can officially say that I was certainly wrong!

Nice – I especially like your insight “With courses such as EM203 creating an early bridge between 2.0 and 3.0 allows us students to get a headstart into what is to come, while giving us the opportunity to build on its foundation for the next generation, through feedback.”

I really enjoyed this read! Even though I am only 21 and probably haven’t experienced education 1.0 very much I can still remember when I was in elementary school and learning was almost forced upon us and we were essentially bins waiting for knowledge to be dumped into us. Nowadays when I go to visit my brother in elementary school you can really see the differences that they have implemented with the use of technology in classrooms and a different style of teaching. Education 3.0 is so versatile because of that co-constructivism as can be seen in our EM203 course. It’s a nice break from the normal lectures that most professors teach according to the 1.0 model. Thanks for a great post!

This was a really interesting article to read. Through this well written blog, I have found the information to be very true to self. The visuals were a great way to help further describe and give me a better understanding of what the article was trying to portray. For a majority of my elementary schooling I would agree to say that it was mainly Education 1.0 to start and then as I moved into the older grades, it began to change to Education 2.0 giving us as the learners more opportunities, yet it didn’t fully occur until high school. Since my 1st couple of years have started in university, I have just recently been introduced into the culture of Education 3.0 learning styles. I have found it to a very beneficial way to learn and has been mainly portrayed on the Online Learning class ( EM203) in which I have been taking over the course of the last 3 months. I have found it to be a great way for me to experience self exploration of the world around us yet, still allows for me to connect back to teaching and learning of education 1.0 and 2.0. This post has greatly opened my eyes to the past, current and possibly future endeavours of where educational learning may go! Thank you for the great ideas!

This is an excellent article that clearly explains the functions of the different means of Internet-Web education. Like most, I have plenty of experience with Education 1.0 during my time in school. Education 2.0 has blossomed in the latter years of my learning but Education 3.0 has been mostly disregarded, despite its effectiveness. I would love to see the integration of Education 3.0 in schools because of its ability to engage and provide learning. Thank you for the post Jackie!

This is an intriguing article and I do think we see some presence of Education 2.0 but 3.0 does remain a pipe dream yet. It is evident we are seeing a shift in our educational system but as in any major subset of our economy/ society, this takes tremendous time.

While extremely value in vision, I think that one must consider the tremendous disruption, investment and formalization of a potential Education 3.0 before we can readily expect it to witness its unveiling.

Where the first step of transition lies? Who knows! Excited to witness this transition… I may not see it in my undergrad but perhaps my MBA or the education of those that follow me.

Michael Marcucci

March 14, 2016 at 6:50 pm

Although I see the benefits of Education 3.0 (interest-based, open access to information, collaboration etc), I believe that is is very difficult to get students to self-direct their learning. I would argue that most students, at all levels of education, need the structure of a classroom to direct their learning. I’m not completely advocating for Education 1.0 (I see that it needs updating in the 21st century), but teachers are needed to help students with their learning. I also believe that self-directed education is only appropriate at certain levels in the education system; university is quite self-directed, but elementary schools should not operate in this way because young children need structure in formulating their knowledge.

Furthermore, although interest-based learning helps students engage, it is important for students to learn traditional disciplines, as outlined in Education 1.0. In other words, all students should be aware of mathematical principles, English literature and history, even if these courses do not interest them.

This article has ultimately made me aware of the need for a combination of Education 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 in our schools today. I don’t believe that we can rely solely on any of these 3 variations of education, but should mix them together so that students receive the best education possible.

@KendrickHillary

March 15, 2016 at 7:27 pm

But don’t kids often self-direct their own learning at home? Don’t they often look things up online? Can’t their interests be connected to English literature, history, and math? I encourage you to look at the work of Sugatra Mitra and his school in the clouds. Our own views of what education is and can be shouldn’t limit what kids can do.

March 15, 2016 at 9:25 pm

Interesting read about the current state of schools and academics in our technological world. I do believe that many traditional-type teachers stick to what they know which tends to be within “Education 1.0,” but there are many teachers that are working within “Education 2.0” and doing so successfully. It will certainly take time to implement “Education 3.0.” It’s a transition that will certainly take time, effort, and money. Nonetheless, great read and I cannot wait to see what the future brings.

March 15, 2016 at 9:02 pm

I definitely agree that we should be moving towards a web/education 3.0 approach but I do believe that having a teacher to guide students is an important aspect of education and is not something that should be veered away from because of this new approach to education. I think student – teacher relationships are an important part of the school and education process for children.

Jennifer Zies (@Zies3050)

March 15, 2016 at 11:28 pm

Education 3.0 does not preclude having a teacher. The role of the teacher just changes from a stand in front of the room telling students when, how, and where to do their learning to that of a guide – helping to facilitate learning. It isn’t all that new – review the work of Montessori and Reggio learning.

March 15, 2016 at 11:43 pm

Excellent read! Regarding all the benefits when it comes to education 3.0, what do you think is the best way to mass implement this type of learning in schools everywhere? Education 3.0 is clearly much more effective when compared to the other types, but do you think implementation of this globally, or even nationally, is a feasible idea?

March 16, 2016 at 1:34 am

I thought that the explanation of the three components were greatly provided in the article. I find it very interesting to se how schools focus on Web 1.0. But, I do think that as time advances and technology changes, a shift may occur in which changes this.

March 16, 2016 at 9:35 pm

Very interesting and informative piece. I’ve actually worked in a few classrooms that implement a mix of Education 2.0 and Education 3.0. Education 3.0 will definitely change the face of education and help to develop more critical thinking skills for students. Though it doesn’t seem like a feasible education plan worldwide, at least in this time. Schools need more money in order to get the technology they need to implement this style of learning. It is always interesting reading up on the future of education and exciting to see what the future holds for us.

Interesting read. In my opinion, it is essential that everyone comes to terms with the rapid changes that are occurring and begin to adapt. With so many resources available today, I think that it should be mandatory all teachers use the techniques describes in Web 3.0. There are currently many educators who are still using the Web 1.0 while others branched out to incorporate Web 3.0. From a student perspective, there should be more consistency as this makes for an easier transition and creates a more stimulating learning environment.

DaniellaOEM203

March 18, 2016 at 10:06 pm

I found this article very informative. A point I wanted to make was that Web 1.0 was used very prominently when I attended elementary school. We followed more of the traditional style of learning. Now as a university student, our learning strategies revolve around Web 2.0 in which we make use of GoogleDocs. This definitely does make our lives a lot easier as it is convenient for group members to collaborate online. However, I must say that I find it is important for students of a younger age are exposed to Web 1.0 first. In this way they will learn to appreciate Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 and use it accordingly.

I love the way education 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 is displayed in this article. As much as we’d like to think we are in the 2.0 stage, schools are very much stuck in the 1.0 phase, being restrictive and at most cautious of technology. Our world is consumed with technology and social media, these kids are using it everywhere BUT school! We should be teaching kids how to use these useful tools in an effective way to further their learning rather than just fun and games. Its what they spend most of their time on, its what their interest it- it needs to be incorporated into the classroom!

I think this article outlines (in really productive manner) the different degrees to which it plays a role in education. I can appreciate each level of influence the web can have on education, and when it is used appropriately, it can be extremely useful and a helpful aid to education. I am currently in a class where we are required to use twitter as a means of collaboration, when I had only previously used it as a social media platform. By creating a twitter and tweeting about similar topics, I am brought to different accounts that show many different views of the topic I am focusing on. It opens a whole new world outside of “google” and really exemplifies how collaboration through a web 2.0 outlet can benefit education if used properly.

I grew up in the age of education 1.0, and did many of the people who have commented on this article, and have recently began to see the slow move of classrooms towards education 2.0 and 3.0. I am excited to see how classrooms will look in the next few years because I think they are going to be hugely different from what I remember! I also think this kind of teaching will be very helpful because kids will learn how to use technology to learn and as opposed to using it to waste time. Thank you for a very interesting read.

Natasha Steinberg

March 19, 2016 at 9:55 pm

I found this a very interesting read, because I remember what it was like to learn in education 1.0. Recently I have begun to see the shift of classrooms towards education 2.0 and 3.0, but only in wealthier schools that can afford to provide the technology needed to their classrooms. I think it will be interesting to see how classrooms look in the future as learning environments shift more and more towards technology based education. I also think that teaching kids how to use technology for learning is very beneficial because technology is so pervasive, and many people use it to waste time or occupy themselves when they are bored, so the better we know how to use it, the more we will learn by using it!

March 19, 2016 at 10:00 pm

Great informative article Jackie! As a student I must say that I feel like Education 3.0 is what I prefer the most. We are in a new age where it shouldn’t just be the teachers lecturing and students absorbing – it creates a lost of interest to many students. With a more interactive environment, I see students even enjoying themselves more with the freedom that’ll bring

Amanda Lin (@EM203ALin)

March 19, 2016 at 11:27 pm

I thought this article was really informational and interesting! I still think that a lot of schools adopt the 1.0 model for learning where students are just receiving and regurgitating information rather than actually adapting it and interacting with it. It is important to explore different modes of education as not all people learn the same way. I have seen a shift to more of 2.0 and 3.0 education models and so far have been more interesting than the standard 1.0

Vanessa Roylance (@EM203Vroy)

March 20, 2016 at 8:24 pm

Education 3.0 is an education style that is talked about but rarely seen being applied to a classroom. I believe the education system should not depend on only one of these three education styles but should incorporate various aspects of each. Ultimately, creating a classroom environment that enables dynamic learning.

Alexandra Smith (@ags1331)

This was an interesting article to read, I enjoyed how you laid out there is three different types of webs. I liked that you titled the article “schools are doing Education 1.0; talking about doing Education 2.0; when they should be planning Education 3.0”. This title sums up the main difference between each web, I never thought before that there would be more then one web, but after reading your reading your article I agree with your points!

March 20, 2016 at 9:44 pm

Very unique view on this current problem, and how to best implement technology within our educational system. Although the explanation of this concept of web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 is very remarkable, I believe it is not that far from reach, and we must devote ourselves to learn how this technology can better aid in the development of education on an everyday basis. It is one thing to say that technology can improve education, it is another to prove it.

Karth Kugan (@EM203KKugan)

March 20, 2016 at 11:18 pm

I thought this article was very interesting and eye opening! I never realized the different phases in the education system until they were pointed out. Majority of my elementary school days have been spent in 1.0, but as times went on it slowly started to shift. As I entered high school it was definitely more 2.0 and even reaching 3.0. As I cam to university I found it to be all over the place. It is really hard when you have older professors who refuse to adapt to the newer technologies out there. While one day I can have an interactive class in 3.0, I then have to attend a class where I am forced to sit there and just listen. I hope more teachers and professors out there adapt to the new education styles as I see them to be very beneficial.

Though it doesn’t seem like a feasible education plan worldwide, at least now. Schools need more money in order to get the technology they need to implement this style of learning. I find it fascinating to read about how we are modernizing and evolving the education system and the tools that will aid int hat process.

Liora Barook

March 21, 2016 at 12:47 am

Kaitlyn Tham

March 21, 2016 at 12:56 am

This was a very interesting article to read as there were many facts and pictures to really catch your attention to the problem we are facing within schools and the education system. I believe that focusing on Education 1.0 is not very effective and we should move past this type of teaching, but it may be very difficult to implement a whole education 3.0 into classrooms, having to find the educational funds to support all the students with electronics to use and to teach the teachers how to use all these functions and tools. Not everyone learns in the same way, and even with education 3.0, some students may enjoy the 1.0 way of learning so there needs to be some sort of balance between all of the teaching. I would like to see more of 2.0 and 3.0 being implemented into classrooms, and from going to elementary placements and learning in my courses on education, teachers are starting to implement this type of learning into their classrooms already.

This article was a very interesting read! Being only 20 years old, I don’t think I really experienced Education 1.0 although sometimes it probably felt that way because I was tired of sitting in a classroom. I only realized that my education was more collaborative when my mother would tell me stories of when she went to school in Europe and had to sit up straight all day listening to lessons from the teacher. Today’s education system is definitely Education 2.0 but in transition to Education 3.0 which is beneficial as it will allow for a greater range of concepts and ideas a student learns and modes of acquiring the information. As someone mentioned in a comment above, I think that along with this, it is important to still have a focus on teacher to student transfer of information, after all people are still more relatable in person rather than online. Students should also value the time and effort teachers use to help them.

What makes the teacher the expert?

March 21, 2016 at 9:36 pm

I am currently piloting what can be described as an Education 3.0 pilot in a High School and am, for want of a title, the teacher of record. I do not profess to be an expert in any of the knowledge areas that my students are pursuing – in fact, each is pursuing their own passion. What I am developing are the skills to guide, mentor, coach…add the value that they would not receive from an online course or by pursuing the passion on their own – they are 16 year olds – and so need the guidance to become self-determined learners. Having said that, they do need access to experts in the field of their passion – my role is to help them connect with those experts.

Madeleine Brookes

September 12, 2016 at 2:04 pm

I agree that Web 2.0 should be a basis for reflecting on how the restructuring of learning takes place. Through the collaborative nature of Web 2.0, it offers people a new type of interaction that can be suited to certain people based on their learning style. For example, people with a constructivist learning style learn from the interaction through others and expand their pre-knowledge this way. Therefore by applying the Web 2.0 basis and gaining feedback and mentoring in an engaging manner, education will become more effective for students and it shall keep learning institutions operating in the near future.

This article is very relatable to from various University experiences. There have been a handful of required course that have completed that are based on the Education 1.0 model. Luckily I have also been able to be involved in a classroom with a teacher practicing this Education 3.0 model. The benefits of this ideal 3.0 system is beyond just a better understand of the learning objectives. There has been genuine interest in the subjects and information. Education 2.0 has also been a much better way of implementing required studies as it also promotes more connections and allows the learning to occur beyond just the classroom. Through experience it is obvious that this needs to be considered by all educations to ensure the greatest amount of success for students.

July 6, 2016 at 5:44 pm

This article was great for helping me understand the reasoning behind why the educational model had had to change from Education 1.0 to Education 2.0 and then to Education 3.0. Sometimes students, as well as teacher do not like change, but it is important to keep the education model up to date with the latest technology because it ultimately helps education. Using the latest model helps make the content more relevant and interesting to students. I can even see that the educational model has change since I have been a younger student. The Education 3.0 now has students become the teacher, teaching themselves on their own and they can continuously learn. Reflecting on the teaching styles I have experienced, I still see that some of my University profs are teaching in the Education 1.0 way, and with this, I find myself unable to maintain interest in what is being taught. Some profs however, have been more teaching in the Education 3.0 style and they certainly helped me be more engaged in their class and the material, which helped me learn way easier.

I agree, The education system would succeed with all of these technologies. This article explains how the education system can change for the better with these technologies. Teaching teachers, Professors, and students to use 3.0 would increase the amount of learning and understanding immensely. The cost of this would be difficult, but the benefits from it would be very impressive.

This article is an interesting read! It is interesting to read the older comments on the page so see how different views of education are changing. As a university student who has been in school for over 15 years, I can definitely see how education has evolved throughout the years. Many teachers have adapted their style of teaching and transformed their classrooms to adapt to the changes. In Education 1.0, I find myself having a hard time maintain focus in class. I prefer a mixture of 2.0 and 3.0, where I am able to have information relayed through the teacher, and have to interaction between the students. Education is changing, and so is the role of the teacher and students within the classroom.

Leah Flanagan (@EM203lflanagan)

Great article! As a student of who has experienced learning from elementary school to university, I have seen first-hand the transition of curriculum from an Education 1.0 model to a 2.0, and more recently, a 3.0 model. Personally, I definitely prefer a 2.0 or 3.0 model as I find the 1.0 model to be too rigid and dependent on a specific learning style, which is never the case in class full of diverse students. The learning in a 1.0 classroom is one way and this makes it hard for students to learn at their own pace or revisit concepts they have trouble with. I definitely see the benefits of a 2.0 and 3.0 classroom as focus is put on creating a more effective learning environment for all participants (even the teacher), and less focus is put on a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

November 17, 2016 at 5:18 am

I think that more people need to read this article and realize that there is more than one type of learning and teaching. Personally I find that most teachers in high school and some in university engage in Ed.1.0 whereas (depending on your university prof) in secondary school you encounter 2.0 and some 3.0; but in order to attain these levels the student must go forth and obtain knowledge independently of the teacher. I think the key for creating a 2.0 and 3.0 environment is having a professor/teacher who deeply cares about the education the students are receiving.

An informative article! As a current student it is interesting to see throughout my years of schooling how education has evolved from 1.0 to 2.0 and now recently to 3.0. It is good to see education and teaching evolve and change to be better suitable for both students and teachers. I myself identify closest wit 3.0 and appreciate being able to collaborate freely, and be driven by interest and problem solving of ideas. I find it an important basis to experience 1.0 model, and then as the student gets older and moves into different grades allow them to collaborate with fellow students and use social media as a learning tool on top of its social benefits. Overall, I think this post is a great way to show that there are different learning styles and how we have grown throughout them.

This article was a great read as it left me considering the changes that are happening in today’s classroom and This is a very interesting perspective that captures the differences between all three web models that have been developing over the last century. These models highlight the evolution of the education system as well point out key problems within the system that need to be addressed. For example, the use of Twitter as a forum allows students to engage in conversation with classmates as well as offering support from teachers in an out of classroom setting. Technology is becoming an ever present forum for teaching and learning in today’s generation. It would be beneficial for all to accept the new mode of teaching and implement it in a positive way to teach and gain the attention of young students since everyone learns differently. It would also be beneficial to teach students how to properly engage with technology in a respectful way especially when posting on online content. This post is a great read and should be shared for all to enjoy as well.

This was quite interesting to read seeing as education 1.0 was the way we were taught (meaning the millennials) in the traditional schooling system. However, internet and technology was not so prevalent back then but now technology and the use of the internet is what controls a society, specially education. These are now affecting us in university and online learning has becoming very prevalent. These three models show how much education has changed over the years. I believe it would be more beneficial for us to conform to the new education 3.0, I feel as though by conforming to this new education it will intrigue more students as well as interest them more in terms of how they learning and what they are learning about.

November 29, 2016 at 4:33 pm

Amazing approach to the problem. I never really realized the significance of the solution until now. It’s clear that user-generated learning has grown an increasingly public profile in the past several years. Student commentary of the process has highlighted several keys to user-directed learning, specifically: technology adoption, effective design, faculty training, and student training. Broader returns in the future necessitate linking cutting edge research in social spheres to learning using a user-generated approach.

You make a great point. Schools should be looking at incorporating Education 3.0. Nearly every kid has a smart phone or tablet and many children are learning how to use technology at such a young age. The educational system needs to embrace this and incorporate it. As a librarian, I had a patron getting help with her child’s new e-reader. Their school had *just* started allowing students to bring in e-readers for silent reading time but internet connected tablets were still strictly forbidden at school.

In the point regarding education 1.0 and how teachers decide what to teach with little regard for the students interests, I would love to see more student input into the education system. Being a university student myself, I find a lot of the classes I take do not interest me. Wouldn’t it be great if universities took into account what students actually wanted to learn. I am in communication studies, which has the possibility for so many unique and interesting courses, however it seems the system still only offers theory based courses.

These models show how education really has changed so much throughout the years. Students now almost live on their devices whether for social media or school work. E-Learnign is a great way to facilitate the learning of new information by making it interactive and interesting to the learner.

March 14, 2017 at 6:59 pm

As a student growing up in the change of the education system I find an interesting parallel between the 3 types of education and the 3 levels of schooling I have experience. Education 1.0 is exactly how my classroom was set up in elementary school. When I started high school, I was amazed at all the new technology my teachers knew about and incorporated into my learning and my classrooms representing Education 2.0. Now that I am in university, Education 3.0 is definitely how I learn.

I definitely agree! I love how with each step the focus switches more from the teacher’s role to the student’s role. Often times the complaint is that students don’t know how to do anything for themselves. This approach really helps to change that because they are becoming much more independent. By choosing how and what they want to learn, they can use their access to information to broaden their interests and become much more knowledgable than what only textbooks would be able to offer them.

This article is very interesting as it touches on the changes within educational systems over time. Although, not all teachers and professors are changing with the evolving education system it is evident that those that do are able to better capture their students attention. I personally find when taught using 3.0 this grasps my attention and keeps me captivated and wanting to learn. I also find in general classes and lectures like this have better student attendance and are much quieter as students are more engaged in the material. I believe its important that professors and teachers all start changing with the evolving educational systems in order to better enhance students learning

March 15, 2017 at 2:12 am

I really enjoyed reading your article. As part of a requirement for a class I am currently enrolled in, I think this read was very useful, informative, and can be kept in mind while we approach our final projects. I, like some others here in the comments, faced the reality of Education 1.0 for most of our lives in education and one word that really stood out to me was regurgitation especially when reflecting back to elementary and a majority of high school. Unless students really enjoyed the subject, they were expected to memorize and regurgitate that memory onto a quiz, test, or exam. What may be really surprising to some people is that some courses in University still function like Education 1.0, where if students do not regurgitate word-for-word what they have been told to study and memorize they will lose marks on the exam. But I must say I have now experienced classes that have developed into Education 2.0 and 3.0 environments.

Very interesting article! I agree with several points you make, especially how Education 1.0 simply is not enough for students to realize their full potential. However, I do think Education 1.0 is the foundation for learning so teachers should not ignore the basics because of the new technology. Instead, they should incorporate the new technology and findings into the basics to overall create an integrative learning experience. I also think that that many classrooms have started to adapt this new way of learning and I can’t wait to see what the future classrooms will look like.

I totally agree that schools should be incorporating this new education 3.0 because as a university student, technology based learning is more enhancing and efficient. But with this new learning experience can create a lot of negatives for teachers and the students. Not all students learn properly through technology, which could effect their education, as well as teacher employment could decrease because soon their positions won’t be needed from technology taking it over. I agree education in schools do need to advance, but do we really know how the effects will be long term?

I have experienced Education 1.0, 2.0 & 3.0 throughout my school career to varying degrees of success. I think that as with many things a combination of approaches adjusted for a particular group is the most beneficial overall. I also think that the downfall of the Education 3.0 style, is poor implementation, so training is essential.

March 15, 2017 at 4:44 pm

This has been an excellently informative read with a clear distinction of the three different categories for education in the digital age. Based on the opinions of the members of my family that are educators, as well as my own personal educational experiences, we unfortunately find that most schools are still operating under the traditional ways of Education 1.0. That is not to discredit the educators in our elementary and secondary schools that go the extra mile to ensure their students are being taught in a fashion more adapted to their learning style.

A question that I would propose after thinking about this post is how post-secondary education differs from how we have critiqued teachers. Are university and college educators expected to advance further into Education 3.0 models than teachers or are the learning techniques of these institutions exempt? Just as many teachers fall to the traditions of Education 1.0 so too do professors, so should it also be their responsibility to progress their way of teaching?

This article has some interesting points that I’ve actually been thinking about for quite some time, so it’s nice to see someone finally discuss it in more detail. In my opinion, as a university student, I have received a substantial amount of 1.0 education to date. In many courses, I don’t feel like I’ve even truly learned anything – I’ve just learned how to remember certain things before the exam, and essentially forget 75% of the material I learned immediately after the exam. Our education system has prioritized test performance over actually knowing and deeply understanding topics; I find myself simply regurgitating, as Jacob mentioned in the previous comment, knowledge that I am not very interested in, because I have no choice but to learn that material. If I investigate into more detail particular topics that I am interested in but they aren’t necessarily testable, it is almost considered a waste of time – I wouldn’t receive any positive feedback for that, in the form of better grades. I unfortunately have to have a closed mind approach when studying for certain exams, which really does suck. For example, I recently wrote an exam where I felt like I knew a lot of material because I went more outside the box and participated in more of a 2.0/3.0 approach to my studying, however I wasn’t rewarded for that effort and understanding as only a portion of that knowledge I had obtained was tested, therefore lowering my mark. Our current university education system does not reward people for the ‘outside the box’ learning approach – we are told “read the textbook and you will do well”, which is essentially telling us that our exams will involve regurgitation. As I am in my 4th year of my undergraduate degree reflecting on the past 3 years, I realize that approximately 70% of what I have actually learned in university is how to perform well on tests – whereas only 30% of the knowledge I feel that I have gained is actually valuable content that I have been able to retain to this day. Online collaborative courses are making a push towards the 3.0 approach which is definitely nice, but I feel like our education needs a substantial change to make it work effectively for certain in class courses – for example, corporate tax – which is an extremely traditional 1.0 education course. Overall, I completely agree with the fact that the incorporation of 3.0 education systems would be more effective because of my experiences, however I also see the difficulty in switching to that approach with many types of courses/learning.

These are very interesting ideas! It’ll be interesting in the future when the learning standard becomes Education 3.0 and the new generation of students learn more effectively than in the past. Technology has been present in my education since elementary school, and it seems crazy to me that even Education 2.0 has not become the current standard yet. Many of my university courses are still taught in a Education 1.0 format. I think it’s important for educators to be caught up in the today’s technological trends and update their teaching methods for the sake of their students.

Joey Chong (@EM203JChong)

March 15, 2017 at 10:48 pm

Really interesting article! I definitely agree with much of what is written in this article. One factor I definitely agree with is that students should have more input. I feel that much of what we learn, especially in university, is not interesting to every student. I understand the importance of having a broad knowledge of different aspects which is why we are required to take so many different courses. However, I think the important thing to consider is that students will do better in school and enjoy learning more if they actually have an interest and input in what they are learning. The education system has already changed quite a bit from when I was in high school three years ago, due to the increased use of technology. I look forward to seeing how further advancements in technology and the changing views of society will alter the education system in the future.

March 16, 2017 at 3:29 pm

This was a fantastic article! I think that every student learns differently, and that they should have more input as to how they can effectively learn in the classroom. Education 1.0 format just doesn’t cut it anymore, as students need the opportunity to effectively collaborate with their classmates. This early form of learning still being used today would also cause students to get bored in a world where we are capable of so much more. In the online course I’m currently taking at Wilfrid Laurier University, EM203, I learn using the Education 3.0 format. We use many collaborative tactics to learn such as discussion posts and Google Docs, which keep me engaged and focused on the topics we learn about.

University, as well as other learning environments, should be all about collaboration and making connections. Students who learn from one another can challenge and change each other to be better versions of themselves!

March 16, 2017 at 5:44 pm

I definitely agree that most educational institutions still use Education 1.0 even still as of 2017. I can think of almost no courses where Education 3.0 was employed. However, while i think Education 3.0 is a nice goal to strive towards it is seemingly very impractical for many disciplines. Imagine a doctor that didn’t learn from licensed professionals or the accountant who decided as a student that he would create his own knowledge and does not use IFRS or ASPE, as a result costing his clients millions of dollars in punitive fines. I would not want to employ nor work along side these professionals. Education 3.0 can work for areas of research such as social sciences, areas where there is no defined body of knowledge and where truths are ever changing. But I think the reluctance to shift away from Education 1.0 is partly due to the relevant subject matter and partly due to the tried and tested nature of Education 1.0. Why shift away from a learning style that has worked for generations?

Nadim Pirani (@EM203NPirani)

March 16, 2017 at 8:36 pm

I believe that education 3.0 can have a good impact on the learning techniques of students. However, I believe that the most effective way is with a hands-on learning approach and a visual way of seeing things done. There is only so much information that you can get across with education 3.0, and I believe actually being in the presence of a teacher is something that is more effective.

Alexandra Clarke

March 17, 2017 at 1:25 am

This was an interesting read. I agree with the author that many institutions still use education 1.0 despite our technological advances in this point in time. It is unfortunate to see that with so much technology readily available at our finger tips, our education system still chooses to use archaic methods. I also agree that students should have more input; if students are interested and passionate about what they are learning, and how they are learning, they will be more engaged and take more away from the course. Education 3.0 must be better integrated into our learning- we have the resources, all we are missing is the proper implementation.

Maya Dobner

March 18, 2017 at 6:59 pm

Growing up during web 1.0 probably created a bias whereby we believe there was too much emphasis on the format; even today. However, I have experience in web 2.0, first in high school to a minor extent and then in university to a large degree. I feel the shift made learning easier, but at the same time required much more resources which the majority of students worldwide do not have access. So in regard to implementation of web 3.0 in all classrooms, there is one large barrier: cost. There also is the problem of equality within the student body, technology deepens a class divide and content providers do not provide access for free. Old school, although slow is arguably still efficient. Textbooks are stocks, retaining their educational value even post purchase. Online access are flows as their value diminishes as soon as access is revoked, which with McGraw-Hill is the case for their subscription based learning modules. This is why all students should have access to human educators.

This is an excellent read and I agree with all the points made, the only thought I had was about how everyone learns differently. For example, I learn best by being taught in person and be able to interact with my professors and fellow students in a physical classroom. However, that is not to say I could not adapt and begin to welcome more technology into my learning, but perhaps with the younger generation they are able to incorporate web 3.0 more easily as they grew up with it much more than I did.

Very interesting read, I agree with the article as many schools today still use Web 1.0. This traditional way of learning gives the students the information of what they think they need to be taught. But as the world continues to develop and revolve around information technology this needs to change. Students should have more say in what they want to be taught to help them advance in what they think is important. We are starting to develop into Web 3.0 as we see this though online course where we can choose to learn what we want whenever we want. This type of learning may be best going forward to help open us up to more opportunity where we can have a more key role in the way we share information.

I also found it very eye opening how poorly education in the classroom is currently taking place and not evolving to web 3.0. I believe that education 3.0 can have a large impact on the future of learning, however I believe the most effective way for students like myself to learn, is through a participative and visual approach, where students can learn from their mistakes. Overall, this article was very informative and eye opening

March 19, 2017 at 7:21 pm

This was really cool to read – I like how there’s so many technological advances and while society is still adapting to the new educational environment, progress is hopefully being made. If students are encouraged to contribute to online courses like EM203 from WLU, not only will there be learnings made on the students’ end but also educators and teachers to improve the system.

March 19, 2017 at 7:24 pm

This Article raises a very interesting approach to learning. I enjoyed how it clearly defined Education 1.0,2.0, and 3.0 as well as gave a clear description on how each builds on the other. In my mind education 1 is all about efficiency, and not so much about quality. As you go down the line the styles of education become more unique and of higher quality but efficiency is lost. I would love to know how Education 3.0 will measure performance and how the measurement process will work in the real world. If their ever was a perfect way to integrate Education 3.0 smoothly in to the workforce then i believe our education system would be greatly enhanced.

For the most part, our current education system focuses on web 1.0, with some elements of 2.0. Web 3.0 isn’t too common, and could be difficult to implement in the younger years of learning. It is important that the educational system continues to incorporate web 2.0 to create a more interactive way of learning. By making comments and interacting with one another, students are better able to digest the information and put the content in their own words.

It was interesting to read the way this article addresses the change the educational system has gone through from Education 1.0 to Education 2.0 and now to Education 3.0. I do believe that many educational systems have not fully switched to 3.0, but it is currently a goal for them to strive towards. I believe that many universities have switched to Education 3.0 by heavily incorporating technology.

I really liked how this blog post shows where the education system is currently at and where it should push to be. Currently learning is too rigid and one-dimensional as explained in education 1.0. Whereas in education 3.0 students are getting a more diverse and free form learning experience. I really hope that education 3.0 is implemented soon as it would help students like myself to see problems in a different way so that they can create a unique solution to it.

I really enjoyed reading this article. I do agree very much with the author about how educational institutions are continuing to use education 1.0 even though we clearly have access to many different technologies. It amazes me that more institutions have not switched over to taking advantage of these technologies although I see where they may be coming from if people have learned in the same format for ages. It is important to consider though that people do learn better in different ways and I believe that the institutions should look at technology as a way of exploiting that. I can see in the near future these younger generations that have access to this technology, really beginning to use web 3.0 because they will have always had an understanding of it.

This was an interesting read! I found the visuals aided in the emphasis of each approach to technology. In addition, I agree that educational institutions must create and implement new approaches in order to keep up with the technological advances today. Overall, I believe education 3.0 should be properly integrated into education systems around the world in order to provide students with the ability to provide their own input and is most effectively used in post-secondary institutions in order to allow for online communication students, teachers and collaborated groups.

This is a great article that depicts how behind the education system is. Instead of utilizing traditional methods of learning, technology should be leveraged to allow students to connect and learn from everywhere at anytime

Tahsin Farooq (@EM203tfarooq)

I think the ideas in 3.0 is the ideal education system but when looking at the stand point of school boards, there isn’t enough funding to make this happen overnight. Two years ago I was fortunate to represent students as the LDSB Student Trustee for two years. It’s easy to give an opinion, but when trying to implement ideas such as technology in the classroom, it can take several years. Limestone was working on a new program called “Bring Your Own Device”, where students can bring their laptops/iPads to school or have access to board owned technology. The process of finding funding, purchasing, creating a system, teaching teachers how to use the technology and fixing arising issues isn’t possible to occur within a school year or two. I think the blog has many great points and ideas, but overall I think the process is a lot more complicated then expressed in the post.

Your post was very informative as I am currently a student enrolled in a course that is relatable to the topics discussed. Parallel to your argument regarding web 1.0, it is shocking that some schooling systems still follow this structure as it is limiting in the sense students are unable to realize their full potential. Additionally, there are so many alternative methods of teaching and learning that students relate to in present day society. Following one particular structure may not respond well to some students as another method to others. In my area of study, communications, teachers have now begun to incorporate different technologies in the classrooms to portray certain messages in alternative ways. Not only are these digital technologies touching on various learning styles, but it is also showing students different ways to acquire information and further their knowledge!

Growing up in an educational system that employed Education 1.0, the need for technology never seemed to be urgent for myself. It was only until I reached my final years of high school where I was introduced to online and other teaching methods. As a youth, completing group projects were my way to learn new ideas from peers while also sharing my opinions on various issues. As a more traditional learner, I do still see the great need for Teacher-Student learning environments, but encourage a more interactive and participatory style.

This is a very informative article that clearly highlights the similarities between the web and education. Following a web 1.0 style of learning is definitely outdated, as we are seeing more and more innovation and technology in classrooms nowadays. However, I do not see a sudden change coming our way any time soon. As a new generation comes in to the school system, it will be a beneficial and even a natural process to incorporate a web 3.0 approach to learning. This gradual approach will ameliorate teacher/student relationships, what students are learning and hopefully their cognitive strategies and abilities as they grow.

This is an intriguing article that clearly identifies how education is changing. This article was particularly interesting to me since I have been involved in and seen first-hand the curriculum transition from the 1.0 model to the 2.0 model and now from the 2.0 model to the 3.0 model. The 3.0 model is far more dynamic in nature and is much more accepting of different learning styles. In my opinion, this is definitely a step in the right direction!

March 20, 2017 at 9:35 pm

This article was a very interesting read. I too believe that a vast majority of education systems are continuing to use education 1.0 or 2.0 learning even though with today’s technology we really should be using education 3.0 methods. Education 3.0 is a modern take to learning that incorporates the benefits of today’s technology and encourages the use of widespread information. I believe that everything is a learning experience and that learning can definitely be done outside of the classroom. By restraining learning to strictly a classroom setting and by using the classic teacher to student method I believe is inefficient. People learn in different ways as there are very many different learning styles. I think that education 3.0 better caters to these different styles and allows the student to learn concepts in ways in which he or she learns best.

I agree that many classrooms are still using web 1.0 techniques which can be difficult to learn with because it is very passive learning. I have found that through this online course I am in right now that learning using web 3.0 where it is much more interactive and students are encouraged to create their own content. This type of learning is much more effective and is still developing in the educational world today.

Very interesting point of view. Funny to think that even though we have the resources for education 3.0, systems across the world are still sticking to 1.0 or 2.0. Reflecting back on my own experiences, I have never really had a problem dealing with education 1.0 because as a part of the generation who grew up with technology everywhere, every class I was every enrolled in had some sort of collaborative feature. I think education 3.0 can and will have a huge impact on the way school’s function in the future however I do not think the system is ready for such a drastic change. Having the same people in charge of the education system for 20+ years can only lead to frozen preferences and lack of willingness to change. I feel like as the next generation begins to run the school system, we will start to see changes in the right direction.

I found this article particularily interesting and engaging to read because it is currently a part of the curriculum that is being discussed in our online class. Throughout my 15 years in school i have experienced Education 1.0, 2.0 & a slow adaption to 3.0. I think the development of technology has introduced a new method of learning and teaching, a method that has successfully achieved a new method for education that allows for students to learn at a more advanced and accessible level. Many of my classes can be considered Education 1.0, however i feel as though as the years progress a lot more of Education 2.0 has taken place and become a part of our classes in regards to our education, i feel like Education 3.0 will slowly get adapted into school curriculum, as it has already started with the current class i am taking. overall i really enjoyed reading this article!

March 21, 2017 at 2:33 am

Education 3.0 takes the form of a reproducing cell, one that utilizes the power of knowledge and a connected set of interests to further drive learning and knowledge. There is a massive gap between the traditional Education 1.0 belief system and the way we live our lives today. Indirectly many students are creating their own curriculum through online forums such as Reddit and Twitter where multiple users interact in a common online space to debate and discuss about the most pressing and most active topics. In the information age, a contradictory way of teaching impedes on the student’s ability to utilize social media and other free sources of information for their benefit. Education 3.0 is incredibly important to implement for one main reason. The teacher has immense amounts of knowledge on the topic being taught, yet the students have immense amount of knowledge on how to harness that knowledge through the global online society. By limiting the students use of the free flow of information it seems as if our students won’t be able to harness the knowledge of all surrounding countries and youth alike. For the education system to see further growth it needs to couple the technological know-how of the students with the valuable subject knowledge of the teachers to create an open-source class room. This ideal classroom environment gets rid of the notion that learning and input is limited to the four walls that surround the students for most of the day. By engaging many others using the web our students will be privy to the increased amount of information which in turn will afford the teachers the ability to adapt to the present and focus on the needs of the youth.

This article really get you to consider the various educational system which I have encountered. 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 have all been experience through my time in various educational systems. I do feel each one is beneficial and there is not one better than the other. Education should be changing based on the level of student and their academic level. It would not make sense to start elementary school students off with the 3.0 system as it would ultimately be confusing. I do think education should progress from 1.0 -2.0 – 3.0 and the faster 3.0 is reached the better. Considering the 3.0 Education it seems obvious that there are many more opportunities presented to students when this approached is used.

The visuals for Education 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 were a great learning experience. Each provided a great comparison and the pros & cons of each. Education 3.0 really seems like the future of learning with digital technologies and social media. I really support these platforms for learning because I personally am a visual and co-operative learner and I believe these platforms help visual learners with hands on learning the most.

There are always going to be different opinions. As a traditionalist, I believe that Web 1.0 is the most effective way of learning because there is structure and consistency with what is being taught. However, change is inevitable and as technology continues to be advancing at exponential rates, we must be willing to adapt. Obviously this change comes with challenges, especially in terms of financing, but in order to have a brighter future for the leaders of tomorrow, that is an investment that many will reap the benefits from.

Great article! It was very informative. Although the advancements of technology in the classroom have come with leaps and bounds, I think that we need to we wary of our dependence on it. The more I use technology, the more I feel that it is meant as a collaboration tool–and that only. I think removing technologies may be a better solution for students as I think it acts as a distraction. I’ve also wondered what technology has been doing to us psychologically as well–do students now have a shorter attention span because we are able to get information much quicker before in a condensed way? I don’t think all tech is bad, but I think that there should be a limit to how much it should be used within classrooms–regardless of the ability of its “connectivity value”

March 21, 2017 at 3:57 am

I believe that teachers like 1.0 because that is how they were taught things and what they are most comfortable doing. Education 2.0 and 3.0 require them to be technologically savvy and I am not sure if the entire education system is ready for that leap. Like others have said I believe Universities are on an education 2.0 level with most of our content being located on the web.

Very interesting and eye-opening article! I never realized nor understood the different phases in the education system. Majority of my grade days have been spent in 1.0, but as times went on it slowly started to shift. As I entered higher education, it was moved 2.0 and even 3.0. However, it has begun to shift as in university some professors refuse to adapt to newer technology. Here’s hoping more teachers and professors out there adapt to the new education styles as they are extremely beneficial.

Many teachers are commonly using Education 1.0 as a way of teaching but with technology being used more readily in classrooms and learning settings, it is important that students and teachers transition more into Education 3.0. This will promote further communication and participation, especially since students have grasped the concepts of technology and already incorporated it into their daily lives. It may be more difficult for younger generations at first but the quicker this is integrated, the more benefits it will give to both learners and teachers.

It amazes me that this article was written in 2013 and is still so relevant today! Teachers and educational institutions feel that the 1.0 teaching they received growing up is ‘safe,’ and that they don’t need to evolve alongside technology, because modern subjects are still the same. Instead of taking advantage of all that web 2.0 and 3.0 have to offer to further education, many people remain rooted in the past on this subject.

I really enjoyed this post. I think it’s totally accurate in how the web is progressing and how that needs to be reflected in schools. I truly believe that learning would be more effective if we were on a web 3.0 level already, but the challenge is moving schools and long standing processes to change and reach this point.

November 16, 2017 at 7:30 pm

Great post discussing usage of Web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 in education. I agree that schools are still using Web 1.0 approaches when they should be working towards using Web 3.0 approaches, which is much more interactive and appropriate with the way that technology is advancing.

I totally agree with what the author is saying. Schools are way too traditional in the sense that the students get taught exclusively by the teachers, and everyone is graded by standard tests etc. I personally feel like the education system is changing though. My mother is the principal of an elementary school, and I can see all the changes that are occurring. The school is starting to look like education 3.0. Every student is on a laptop, the classes are centrally focused around technology, and even the furniture has changed to foster a more inclusive atmosphere. It is changing, however, I am sure not all schools have changed as much as my mothers. It is a process, because education is always seen as a traditional thing.

Keisha Rose (140242460) EM203 – This was a very interesting article that gave me a new perspective on my own education experiences. During elementary school I was exposed to web 1.0 tactics where we would use the web but not necessarily engage with the content as one would using web 2.0. However, during high school and university I was taught using web 2.0 methods and it is for this reason that I have a comprehensive understanding of tools like Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and Youtube.

I really liked how the blog related education to the World Wide Web. I completely agree how schools have to change so the learning is more student based. I remember when I was in highschool YouTube was banned, however in the more recent years the school board has allowed YouTube in schools due to its educational uses. The school system is still lacking many of the crucial aspects of Education 3.0 however they are slowly trying to change. There is more technology in classrooms now, students can use their laptops and teachers are making the learning more student based rather than doing the traditional lectures.

I really enjoyed reading about the use of the 3 different webs. I agree that schools need to progress towards an interactive approach, which is evident in web 3.0. Instead of the old traditional approach and hovering around web 1.0, it would be effective for both students and teachers to stress for a more collaborative teaching and learning environment.

This is a very interesting read. The more teachers and professors engage with Web 3.0 learning, the more engaged students will feel with the material, consequently leading to a higher levels of enjoyment of learning and better learning outcomes. I believe we are on the cusp of a technology boom that will affect schools across Canada. In 2017 we are utilizing the internet and other technologies in the classroom, but there is much more available that we have yet to tap in on and use effectively.

1.0 I agree that the majority of schools now a days, especially public schools are still using an Education 1.0 model. I heavily disagree with sustaining such model. I don’t believe is the most effective way to foster creative or spark educational interest for passionate learners; it’s too standardized and turns children into one specific type of person which isn’t good for societal diversity. 2.0 Model 2.0 is getting better because it’s focus is on engaging conversations that take place directly, and relies on peer feedback and mentoring for evaluation and process. It aids the development of teamwork and being able to function as a small society before entering into the real world environment. 3.0 Education 3.0 is a model I 100% support and believe it will create success for our future generations. Self-directed, interest-based learning where problem-solving, innovation and creativity drive education sounds remarkable and limitless to opportunities for academic and personal growth within the education system.

I agree with this article in the sense that we need to start implementing the 3rd model of learning more frequently into curriculum. However, I do think this is somewhat realistic. Even in the most developed countries like Canada and the United States there are certain communities that cannot afford the technology that is required to support this learning style. Then comparing this to the developing world shows just how impractical and unfeasible this notion might be.

Education 3.0 is a step in the right direction. Having students using technology day in and day out not only prepares them better for the real world, but it gives them the ability to explore a wealth of knowledge that is easily accessible.

Intriguing article. This article really made me think about my educational experiences during elementary and high school years. I can easily say that I was taught mostly if not solely by 1.0 tactics, some technology was used and encouraged but it always came back to whatever the teacher said was correct. As a student, I did not enjoy this type of intellectual engagement and interaction. In University, I have taken various online classes and had my professors use technology devices and have always perceived them as creative learning tools and encourage the use of them. They are new, cool, and interactive.

This has been an interesting read. It is really eye opening when you see the comparison of Education 1.0 to 2.0 to 3.0 in one place and you can see the differences. It is interesting how most schools are still in education 1.0 but talk of education 2.0, I can think back to highschool only 4 years ago and this exact situation happening. I always appreciated my education and thought I was getting the best, but since university I can how much of a difference it makes to have collaborative work between students, professors, and online sources. Looking forward to seeing more changes in the public education system.

November 18, 2017 at 11:10 pm

This is an excellent article describing the differences between types of learning through Web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. The article really speaks to me as I personally don’t learn well when it comes to Web 1.0 and learners as receptacles of knowledge rather than through collaboration in Web 2.0 or learners as creators in Web 3.0. Rather than learning in a specified location and, in a way, being talked at, I’d much rather be learning in any and every environment and be able to learn with whomever my teacher is. Web 2.0 and 3.0 are learning styles that have yet to be implemented in most educational institutions and I feel that a large amount of students can really benefit from these types of learning styles as opposed to teaching one way, and one way only.

While this article is interesting in what education is, can be, and is going toward. can we ask is new always better? Yes in this current state of technology education is out of day, but is it really going to help us in the long run. While I’ll admit that the use of technology could help the current education system, the 3.0 may be taking it too far. Should education be structured in a way that students are able to change the process, is this really an idea that is the best for everyone. Students still need teachers that are going teach the curriculum and test the students knowledge in order to ensure the students are competent. It seems that the education system is trying to make it easier for the student to succeed but not learn the information and be competent, because there is a difference. On the other hand i do agree that technology could be incorporated into the education system just not take over it.

November 19, 2017 at 2:02 am

I definitely agree with your post and this blog, it is very well stated. I loved your statements about how the internet has become a huge window “a portal into human perceptions, thinking, and behaviour”. I to believe that schools are still stuck teaching in the Web 1.0 style and as technology evolves schooling should follow suit and adapt. I am a university student and after reading the article and reflecting on my classroom experiences I have realized that some of my professors are still teaching in the Web 1.0 format. With all the resources available to enhance teaching I hope that soon teachers begin to incorporate it into their teaching styles. I hope the classrooms of the future widely accept Web 3.0.

This article spoke to the learning experiences I’ve had throughout my education. As a university student studying business, I’ve found that most of my courses have been Education 1.0 based. That is, I’ve sat in a lecture hall and listened to my prof read from the slides. This teacher-oriented approach is often extremely boring and required me to do most of my learning outside the classroom. In upper years, some of my classes are more Education 2.0 based in which there is a larger participation component. This approach requires me to be more prepared for my lectures and better connects my learning to class material. I hope that educators evolve their teaching practices to further encompass Education 2.0 as well as explore the benefits of Education 3.0.

I find this article very interesting as it shows the changes between the Web 1.0 and Web 3.0. Even though 3.0 clearly is the most effective for learning and collaboration, in my time in high school only a few years ago most of my learning and the curriculum was 1.0 based. I feel that technology in the classroom is gradually increasing year to year, though for full success and implementation of this schools have to take advantage of 3.0 technology, for greater collaboaration and learning for all.

November 19, 2017 at 10:32 pm

As I am learning how different the learning paths of individuals can be I very much agree with the abolishment of the Education 1.0 model. I believe that interest-based learning is paramount to effectively transmitting information. This being said model 3.0 most closely parallels those beliefs and is one that I would be inclined to implement.

Mitchell Ray

November 20, 2017 at 12:53 am

Very interesting article and the timing was perfect since I have discussing the flaws of the current education system in my EM203 as my chosen problem this semester. I agree the traditional Web 1.0 model should be removed from schools since it provides minimal value to students in the 21st century. As the times change so should our schools. Therefore, implementing technology at earlier ages for students and using the Web 3.0 model better equips them as they progress through school as they can continuously build on their knowledge, and finally it will be applicable in the real world in their career.

Navraj Virk (@EM203nvirk)

November 20, 2017 at 2:43 am

Interesting article, and definitely one that I can relate to myself. From my personal experience, most of my learning in classrooms have followed the 1.0 model. The teacher/professor would stand in front of the classroom and repeat information off a slide deck and expect students to regurgitate that information onto an assessment/examination. Although I was able to remember this information in the short-run, the process of simply memorizing information does not allow learners to be able to retain and apply that information in numerous facets. As such, I strongly agree that schools should make a hard transition towards 2.0 or 3.0 (preferably 3.0). Students must be involved and learn in an active and engaging learning environment in order for them to retain the greatest amount of information. Learning must be multi-faceted, and be accessible from anywhere (whether in class, out-of-class, online etc.). Only with all of these criteria will students be able to retain information they have learned long term and be able to apply said information over a variety of areas.

Interesting read. Definitely agree that schools should move toward the Web 3.0 model. The 1.0 model is not fit for the current century. With the vast amount of resources available to students through constant technological development, I feel like these tools should be implemented into the classroom to enhance the learning experience. As society evolves, so should its’ practices.

November 20, 2017 at 2:51 pm

Very interesting article. It’s important to know that learning is multi-dimmensional and not a linear concept. With the rise in technology, and the change in society, we need to adapt our learning styles as well. The traditions methods from learning 1.0 may not be as effective now that society is changing. Schools are still focused on learning 1.0, however we need to acknowledge that this may not be the best method anymore and start transitioning towards the 3.0 model. This transition has begun, as we are already seeing a transition or an attempt towards the 2.0 model.

November 20, 2017 at 9:01 pm

This was a very insightful article that presents a unique perspective on the education system. There are also very interesting points on how technology can be best implemented within our education system to take it to the next level. Almost a lot of courses that I have taken have been through the traditional Web 1.0 model. As technology and resources continue to expand, eventually everyone will start adapting the Web 3.0 model. It is just a matter of time, when educators start to use the Web 3.0 model and encourage students to reap the benefits of this model.

I found this article very interesting! Growing up, I have experienced Education 1.0, 2.0, and slowly exposed to 3.0. There is a large gap between the beliefs of the “traditional” Education 1.0 system and the way individuals learn today. The development of technology has really opened the doors to what can be taught, and how students can learn. It has allowed a new method that creates and instills a more advanced type of learning for todays youth. Our class, EM203 attempts to bridge the gap between 2.0 and 3.0. In a perfect world, the classroom is an area by which the idea that learning is simply limited to the physical classroom itself, will expand the needs of the level of education youth needs today.

Sandra Stancic

November 20, 2017 at 10:56 pm

I think education 1.0 is still the dominant model of school not only because of historical reasons such as the development of the school in relation to authority and discipline but also because of the rationalization and the commercialization of education. Education 1.0 seems fits the need of most students who are just in university for diploma and for jobs instead of the creeping of knowledge itself. The Education 3.0 doesn’t only requires the students to be active learners but also need the society for greater recognition in order for it to be more widely acceptable by learners and society.

kevin zhang (@EM203Kevinzhan)

November 20, 2017 at 11:09 pm

I agree! I definitely believe schools are using a education 1.0 model when they should be transitioning to education 3.0. I think the main issue for the slow evolution of education is not based on a lack of resources or lack of will on the part of the teacher, but rather caused by an aging educational system failing to evolve. The current educational system has become over bureaucratic and slow just like Web 1.0. In order to change and transition our educational system to 3.0 I think progress needs to first be made at the board and ministry levels. It’s not until theses higher powers adopt the 3.0 mindset that classrooms will begin to transition into the modern educational model.

Very interesting article! As I have grown up and received education, I have experienced education 1.0, 2.0, and have recently been introduced to education 3.0. I believe that education 1.0 remains the primary type of education that is seen in schools today, but education 2.0 is much more common in upper grades and higher education. I think that as technology continues to evolve, classrooms are doing so as well. I believe that in years to come, education 3.0 will be much more prevalent than it is today. In order for this to occur, schools, teachers, and students need to become more familiar with technology and its uses. As education 2.0 is becoming more and more popular across education, this will reduce the gap between 2.0 and 3.0, making more and more individuals familiar with technology and open to an idea of a new type of learning.

This was an interesting read that discusses ways to implement new education models to adapt to current technologies. I agree that the current 1.0 model does not fit with the current needs of the education system and a change should be implemented towards the 3.0 model. As generations progress in terms of technological advancements, the 1.0 model does not meet the requirements to allow students to fulfill their educational potential.

While reading this article I could directly relate aspects of Education 1.0 to my life as a university student, where I am mainly in lecture halls with large amounts of students, retaining and regurgitating information given to us. I believe that some courses are shifting to Education 2.0, as I have had many classes that integrate technology to enhance learning. Eventually, I think Education 3.0 will require a larger effort by all members of society to educate, rather than just licensed teachers.

With this being said, it relates to the article as they both mention ways of changing education to enhance the learning of students. I agree that schools should be moving forward from Education 1.0 and 2.0 to focus on Education 3.0 instead. Using Education 3.0 provides students with a more interactive and in-depth way of learning in which they will be able to apply it to real life situations.

The rapid development of technology has really opened the doors, and I feel that teaching will soon shift towards 3.0.

November 21, 2017 at 11:47 pm

This article was a great read, it really covered Education 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 accurately. I think that in today’s society, the improvement in technology has created a significant impact by allowing for more and more students to be exposed to Education 3.0. In the future I think that more and more educational institutions will be providing courses that offer the Education 3.0 style, since communicating online is becoming easier and more popular as the years pass. I believe that connecting Education 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 should be the goal for the future, and we are definitely on the right path!

I strongly believe that Education 3.0 is the most effective way to learning in the future as it allows students take a more holistic approach to learning. It integrates the use of connectivism and how we use current social media outlets to learn, educate, and communicate with one another. Currently, we are in Education 2.0 and are pushing towards implementing Education 3.0 in our everyday learning. As a student, the implementation of Education 2.0 has allowed for further learning and improvements in our access in learning.

As a student, the implementation of Education 2.0 has allowed for further learning and improvements overall. The greater access and familiarity people have with technology the more likely this will be.

As I have moved into upper years I have noticed professors are making greats efforts to move towards 3.0 aspects as technology is being welcomed inside and outside of the classroom to contribute to learning. As millennials, I believe the use of technology will be most beneficial to attract students attention and involvement in active learning.

This article was a great read! It provided valuable insights on the the different types of education platforms with education 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0. The article has a slight bias on encouraging that education 3.0 is the most effective learning method in the future. As attractive as web 3.0 may appear at the surface I believe there is a risk regarding the dependency on the technology which may possibly neglect the user. Internet/Web 2.0 may be a more realistic learning method for the short term future that could provide feasible results.

This was a fantastic article to read! It was very informative to understand the different scales of the education system. I believe that we should be moving more towards the Webb 3.0 approach is it is more realistic and applicable in today’s society. Over the past decade, I have using the Webb 1.0 methodology. However, I realize the various limitations associated with it. I feel that society needs to conform and adapt towards the Webb 3.0 method. Overall, by enhancing our education system to 3.0, we will be able to take full advantage of technology and make learning more efficient.

In my opinion, education 3.0 is one can truly transform and improve the way students learn. Right now, we find ourselves in the education 2.0 stage and as we move forward we are starting to see a steady shift toward s 3.0 stage. Education 3.0 is a highly interactive way of learning that integrates several layers of technological tools to tailor to diverse learning style which ultimately will help students grasp the knowledge with a level of depth that has the power to totally transform the way students learn.

It s interesting to see how an Education 3.0 and the interactions amongst the 3. In today’s technology dominated society education 3.0 will be extremely effective as we are not disregarding technology and tools like social media but actually using it to emphasize the educational experience. As both a student and teaching assistance I can definitely see the benefit of doing this !

I really enjoyed reading this article as it relates to how my own education has changed over the past few years with the shifts in technology. The article is broken down on what education 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 are and different examples of each. In my opinion, I believe that especially in todays day and age, the shift from Education 1.0 is important, and it should not be the way that students are taught anymore. We have access to so many tools, platforms and websites that not using those would be teaching us less. Education 3.0 is a broad, and very in depth way of learning with a vast number of opportunities to learn. There is so much room for collaboration, communication and it gives students the opportunity to connect with a variety of individuals. I think that we should move away from Education 1.0 and 2.0 and push Education 3.0 much more as social media presence has increased in recent years, and will only improve the quality of education and access to information for students.

Really enjoyed the read, great article! I find it fascinating about how the impact of technology on society is growing exponentially, advancing in more ways than I could have possible imagined even 5 years ago. I resonated most with the Education 3.0 section since I strongly believe that constructivism-based learning techniques should be implemented in all educational systems. There isn’t a one, single method of teaching that’s equally effective on all students, which is because everyone has their own unique learning traits. Constructivism, being a major aspect of Education 3.0, takes advantage of this by allowing students to express those traits and experience learning concepts by their own regard. School shouldn’t only make sense to the people teaching, but to all those listening as well!

What I love the most about this article is the way it highlights the idea of having the right educational system. This essentially means that educational systems help grow the connection between teachers and students. I believe that in order to succeed, one must fully understand what is given to them, as well as build a passion for the topic. As technology advances, new teaching methods arise and influence the connection we build with our teachers. It is essential for teachers to properly incorporate the use of technology in order to ensure a better teaching environment for students. Hence, the 3.0 model is one that considers the interest of the students, maintaining an innovative image.

Thanks for writing this article, I thoroughly enjoyed it! After reading this article, I thought about my time on the web and how things have changed. A lot of websites used to be one way, where you could only take information, but not input information. Such sites were often hosted on GeoCities. If a change were to be made one had to email the webmaster. We now refer to this as Web 1.0 . The second stage of the web is more interactivity with sites such as Facebook, Twitter, WordPress. I personally prefer second stage as you can interact with others. However, with Web 3.0/Education 3.0 I don’t think institutions are equipped to handle such radical changes from what has been the norm for decades.

Education 3.0 is the future of learning and I hope one day we reach this point.

This is a very interesting read! I’ve always wondered why after hundreds of years of an Education 1.0 based curriculum, the schooling system hasn’t been updated. It feels like students are solely required to reiterate information they learn in textbooks. Education 2.0 and 3.0 allow for a more collaborative and wholesome approach to learning.

David Choran (@DavidChorEM203)

November 23, 2017 at 5:17 am

Wow, this article explains very well how we are stuck in Education 1.0 with some facets of education 2.0 being used, when we should be much further along at Education 3.0. As a student myself I could not agree more. A typical day consists of 2 or 3 lectures where we sit in rows, listen to a professor tell us what we need to know, then try to learn this way. With a web 3.0 structure, where the teacher acting a resource guide and pushing the students to learn and discover themselves is much more engaging, and helps the student to really engage and participate in the learning process. I believe education 3.0 is the best way to learn.

This article is very relevant. Web 1.0 is used everywhere since it is the traditional method of teaching and I sincerely hope that more schools adapt towards the Web 3.0 method of teaching. The Web 1.0 teaching bores me, and honestly, I do not retain much knowledge with a teacher constantly talking or reading slides. I do think Web 2.0 is becoming a more prevalent method of teaching and that, with technology, Web 3.0 will become the mainstream method of teaching in the next 20 years. I still believe there should be a progression from Web 1.0 to 3.0, but ultimately, I prefer Web 3.0. Web 2.0 and 3.0 as better as active and hands-on learning is more useful than simply sitting there and absorbing information.

This was a great read! I think Web 3.0 is a very useful style of learning. It’s more adaptive and it allows students to be more engaged with their learning. Comparing this to Web 1.0, it’s a lot more text book based. This is not always an effective way for students learn causing them to be distracted with other things.With the increase in technology use, Web 3.0 seems to be the more effective approach. Additionally, Web 3.0 really allows the learner to gain more knowledge because they are responsible for their learning with social networking.

Interesting post, it’s amazing how much technological advances we’ve had in the past decade, and how much the internet has changed. I think it’s time the educational system is revamped and hopefully they will take advantage of the technology that is readily accessible to us.

These ideas are very fascinating. The more that we rely on the nodes of a connected network to share information the greater the understanding, and web of collectivism we have. I believe that this can make all of us more diverse and well informed about a plethora of topics. I hope to use ideas such as these to drive learning in my school, groups and community going forward.

This was a very interesting post! I loved reading about how education has moved through 1.0, 2.0, and now 3.0. It is very true that some people are still stuck on a 1.0 system, and that is very unfortunate for the learning of children. I think that Web 3.0 is amazing for everyone because it is such a different way to learn and you are not just limited to the knowledge that one teacher provides you with. The graphics in this post very awesome and really helped me understand the concepts of Web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 much clearer.

This was a really intriguing post! It is interesting to know how the education system is moving slowly through Web 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0. It is unfortunately true that individuals are caught up using Web 1.0 and holding back on the interactive and connective aspects the Web now has today. Although Web 1.0 is pretty much implemented everywhere, I do hope that Web 3.0 will become more implemented within school systems because we do live in a technological generation, as technology is not going anywhere, it just keeps growing and growing. This idea of highlighting the right educational system is a really great read and made me really think about how the education in schools needs to be furthered technologically.

This post brought up some very interesting ideas! The explanations of Education 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 were very clear and I particularly enjoyed the diagrams and charts which furthered my understanding. I believe that peer feedback and mentoring is incredibly effective and this experience of learning should be used in education. A positive interaction between students and teachers/experts is essential! I am also appreciative of Education 3.0 as an interest-based learning system that allow learners to be creators of knowledge.

This article was an interesting read! The Internet has spread and become a big part of our lives. I agree that it is important for students to start adapting and using this source as a part of their education. I think it is very interesting to learn how much the Internet has adapted, highlighted through the differences in education 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0! With nearly every kid with a smart phone now a days and kids using it at younger and younger ages, it is important for schools to start incorporating these sources into eh classroom.

This was a very interesting blog to read! It is definitely evident that most schools adopt an Education 1.0 model, that focuses on math, science, history, and english. This is very much similar to how my education was, where teachers and administrators decide what should be most important for their students. It would be beneficial for teachers to adopt the Web 1.0 model, as it involves social networking and using the web to do research and find information. The education 3.0 model is undoubtedly the most beneficial for students, as it incorporates a lot of collaboration between students and teachers, and gives both the teachers and students more freedom within the school and classroom.

This was a very intriguing blog post to read. I experienced Education 1.0 when I was in elementary school. Technology is expanding everyday and I think it is important for schools to keep up to date with changes and implement these changes as well. It is important to know about Web 3.0 and its benefits as there are many resources that can be used to improve education!

I think this article is very interesting to read. I believe that Education 3.0 would be the most beneficial to students receiving education. Education 3.0 would ensure that the students would find the concepts and curriculum interest which would result to being fully engaged. As technology advances, educators and institutions must also advance in order to educate future generations and students.

I really enjoyed reading this blog post! I can most relate to the Education 1.0 model as it is the approach that my past schools have taken. Throughout my educational career there has been a heavy focus on Math and English which is what my teachers always have seen as important within ones education. I too agree that with today’s rapid technological growth it is easy to see web model 3 come into play. I believe these positive changes will better our education system greatly.

I enjoyed reading this article. It is absolutely relatable and it is evident that the education system is diverging from Education 1.0 and adopting Eduction 2.0. What caught my eye was the new paradigm model chart in Education 3.0 – it is really interesting to note that this is found anywhere, and everywhere! You learn something new every day just by simply talking to someone.

That was a great read and a concept I hadn’t explicitly thought of before but I can agree with the points discussed. Academic education has still very much been Education 1.0 for the past 100+ within schools and university, although only very recently there has been a small notion of change towards Education 2.0. However, this is still very much a prototype concept in real world applications and is not the norm yet. While the advancement of technology will definitely aid us in advancing towards Education 3.0 and its benefits, I believe that the political restrictions of trying to conform education standards to other countries will definitely prolong the time required to get to this step.

Great read, I find it quite interesting to read. As a mother of 3 children, two school-aged (a girl, 9 and a boy, 7) I see the benefits of adapting web 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 within schools. My daughter as many would say is a “typical girl” she can sit in a classroom, be fed information from the teacher, do her work independently or in a small group and get an A on a test. Whereas my boy (age 7) would benefit so much more from a school that adopted an Ed 3.0 learning space. He loves to learn, he loves to explore, and use the world around him to ask questions and find answers. He hates sitting at a desk being talked at by a teacher and then having to regurgitate the information in a different context. He doesn’t do well on “tests” and he will never be an A+ student because he doesn’t learn the way he is expected to learn in this type of Ed 1.0 classroom. Education is a tricky subject, with so many different types of learners it’s so difficult to say which way of learning is best but I appreciate the thoughts, diagrams and information put into this article. Thanks!

What a great read! Until now I had not really thought about how much education is stuck in Web 1.0. So much of our academic progress involves teaching to standardized tests and scoring well on them. I did not get to use technology like blogs to communicate with my peers until well into my high school education. I still do not get to do this in many university classes, as most of them involve multiple choice testing based on internet and textbook readings. I think now is the time more than ever to incorporate technology and more student involved teaching and learning as the world becomes more connected.

I very much enjoyed reading your post! Growing up in high school and elementary school learning with technology was mostly Web 1.0. Now as the digital age is beginning to become more advanced, Web 2.0 is present and quickly changing but we really should be preparing schools with web 3.0 as I believe we are going to experience such a huge turnover in regards to technology.

Very interesting read! This article serves as a great reminder to reflect on the state of our education system and where it can be changed and improved for the better. I was not very aware of the 2.0 and 3.0 approaches to the web and education as I was to the 1.0 concept. In my opinion, it is fairly evident that the vast majority of content we are presented with in an educational setting and context is still be delivered in a 1.0 style, when we should be shifting our focus to 2.0 and 3.0 efforts. While we are slowly seeing this shift, it would greatly enhance and increase the effectiveness of our education if this shift was made sooner and greater efforts were made to make it more widespread.

I enjoyed how this blog post explicitly structures the 3 phases of education. It is very clear that our education system has not been developing nearly as fast as it should be, especially when compared to the development of technology and the Web. The Web has given us so many more mediums and options to learn from and if the education system doesn’t develop, it will fail to take advantage of all these technological benefits. Unlike previous generations, students now have access to so much information online that it only makes sense to structure teaching and school curriculums differently to adapt to this phenomenon.

EM203JRan (@EM203Jran)

March 18, 2018 at 7:56 pm

I really appreciated the distinction provided in this blog post between the 3 approaches to the web. I could not agree more that the current 1.0 state that is being implemented in education now is ineffective and leaves much room to inactive participation on behalf of students. I believe the 1.0 model is largely related to the idea of standardization whereas the 3.0 model allows for customization. I am eager to see how education will shift towards the 3.0 model in the years to come.

March 19, 2018 at 2:37 pm

I enjoyed how interesting this read was! It allowed me to critically analyze the education system by seeing the three different pillars of information regarding the phases of education. I was more aware of the approach Web 1.0, than Web 2.0 and 3.0. With this being said, I am exposed to Web 1.0 style within an educational framework because it’s the easiest way to consume knowledge. Web 2.0 and 3.0 are more interactive and multidimensional allowing its users to interact with more communication channels. The Web has a very large agency and is developing at a vast pace. Correspondingly, the growth of new generations and their adaptation to technology allowing an overwhelming amount of information. Thus, this has shaped the education system and all elements within this social institution.

After reading this article, it was very interesting to gain knowledge on Education 1.0,2.0 and 3.0. I believe that Education 2.0 and 3.0 is the most effective way for students in this day in age. Technology is being incorporated vastly into almost everything that we do now and is becoming the easiest way for students to comprehend things and make a learning environment more comfortable for them.

March 19, 2018 at 9:03 pm

With new information becoming available every day through the internet, the 3.0 approach seems like the perfect solution to aging curriculum and teaching methods! In my opinion, the use of the web would be more interesting to today’s students, having grown up using this technology. Further, the use of the internet can appeal to a variety of learning styles, with many different information mediums to suit individual needs. Though the shift from 1.0 may be a slow one, it will be well worth the challenges presented by such a drastic change.

I really enjoyed reading this article and agree with the points talked about! The education system is still education 1.0 although there has been discussion about moving to 2.0. The rapid advancement of technology will be the driver to the move to education 3.0. I believe with how technology is developing and the benefits of it, education 3.0 would greatly enhance the education system and will soon be the norm.

Very interesting read in the article! Looking back on my previous education, it is evident that I only experienced Web 1.0 learning. The “read only” consume knowledge approach is the only way used in many educational systems, in turn, harming many students. Many students do not learn through simple consumption, but rather interaction. I am thankful that in the university setting, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 is learning is much more evident. For example, the use of Web 2.0 through two-way communication and constructing knowledge through collaborative tools has seen fruitful result in many courses I have taken.

This article was very enjoyable to read. Plus I agree that in today’s day & age and with all our advancements we should be at 3.0, unfortunately we -the educational system is still at a 1.0. But before we know it, we will look back and think of all the gains we have made and we will never look back. Technology is the way of the world.

I really enjoyed reading your post! I found it interesting to learn that many educators are stuck in Web 1.0 because I primarily grew up in an area where all the schools had adopted a Web 2.0 teaching style and I believe they will be able to easily integrate into Web 3.0. There are so many tools that the Web makes available and adaptive for students to use and it would be in the best interests for both the teachers and students to make sure they are taking a full advantage of these tools by integrating Web 3.0. In the future, I hope to see a subsidization in poor-er communities so that they are not missing out on the contexts of Web 3.0

This was a really interesting blog post to read. As a future educator, I enjoy seeing things from a different perspective. I would love to see a transition into Education 3.0, however I feel that it will be a difficult step to make. It will require much more than one teacher’s efforts. It will require collaboration between students, parents, teachers, school board executives, and the government. It would also be interesting to see a shift to Education 3.0 within the post-secondary, where it is traditionally Education 1.0 with very minimal use of Education 2.0.

I think that this post really expresses the potential for improving the educational system. I think that form the time it was written, to present day (2018) the educational world, at least in first world countries, has already drastically changed and continues to evolve alongside the technological world. Perhaps we are not quite at Education 3.0, but I do not think it will be much longer before we get to this ideal. Communities that are still developing other basic forms of education may even skip steps and become connected and cross functional from the start

Technological advancement has had a positive impact on many industrial areas and various service sectors. Education is among these benefited sectors, due to the innovative processes that have been implemented in recent years, the technologies combined with the pedagogical, have taken an important turn in the way of teaching and learning. Information and communication technology (ICT) and Education 4.0 have had their repercussions on the educational system, which has allowed in recent years to see the transformation and development of innovative educational models using technological tools and resources to contribute to the teaching process-learning. In this research, a systematic review of the literature was carried out, to know the new educational models that have emerged based on ICT and Education 4.0, as dynamic resources within the educational system, which come to innovate the way of learning, understand, order, and undertake the processes necessary to achieve meaningful learning. These new models respond to the social and educational demands and transformations, such as what was experienced in the pandemic, where confinement opened the way for technology to provide school continuity, generating new challenges and challenges, but allowing digital tools to respond to the existing need.

Title: education 5.0: requirements, enabling technologies, and future directions.

Abstract: We are currently in a post-pandemic era in which life has shifted to a digital world. This has affected many aspects of life, including education and learning. Education 5.0 refers to the fifth industrial revolution in education by leveraging digital technologies to eliminate barriers to learning, enhance learning methods, and promote overall well-being. The concept of Education 5.0 represents a new paradigm in the field of education, one that is focused on creating a learner-centric environment that leverages the latest technologies and teaching methods. This paper explores the key requirements of Education 5.0 and the enabling technologies that make it possible, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and virtual and augmented reality. We analyze the potential impact of these technologies on the future of education, including their ability to improve personalization, increase engagement, and provide greater access to education. Additionally, we examine the challenges and ethical considerations associated with Education 5.0 and propose strategies for addressing these issues. Finally, we offer insights into future directions for the development of Education 5.0, including the need for ongoing research, collaboration, and innovation in the field. Overall, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of Education 5.0, its requirements, enabling technologies, and future directions, and highlights the potential of this new paradigm to transform education and improve learning outcomes for students.

What is Educational Technology? [Definition, Examples & Impact]

What is Educational Technology? [Tools & Media]

What is educational technology [theory & practice], careers in educational technology [value of a master’s degree].

From the ancient abacus to handheld calculators, from slide projectors and classroom film strips to virtual reality and next-generation e-learning, educational technology continues to evolve in exciting new ways — inspiring teachers and students alike.

Technology is continually changing the way we work and play, create and communicate. So it’s only natural that advancements in digital technology are also creating game-changing opportunities in the world of education.

For teachers, technology is opening up new possibilities to enrich and stimulate young minds. Today, there is growing excitement around the potential for assistive technology, virtual and augmented reality, high-tech collaboration tools, gamification, podcasting, blogging, 3D printing, artificial intelligence, personalized learning and much more.

Here, we’ll explore some of the most promising examples of educational technology and some specific edtech tools and trends. But first let’s take a closer look at what we mean when we talk about “educational technology,” because the discussion can refer to both:

• The theory and practice of educational approaches to learning, as well as
• The technological tools that assist in the development and communication of knowledge

One important definition of educational technology focuses on “the technological tools and media that assist in the communication of knowledge, and its development and exchange.”

Take augmented reality and virtual reality , for example. Writing about the “Top 6 Digital Transformation Trends In Education” in Forbes.com, technology innovation specialist Daniel Newman discusses using AR and VR to “enhance teacher instruction while simultaneously creating immersive lessons that are fun and engaging for the student.” He invites us to imagine using virtual reality to transport students to ancient Greece.

Gamification combines playing and learning by utilizing gaming as an instructional tool, according to Newman, who explains that incorporating gaming technology into the classroom “can make learning difficult subject matter more exciting and interactive.”

Regarding artificial intelligence , Newman notes that a university in Australia used IBM’s Watson to create a virtual student advisory service that was available 24/7/365. Apparently Watson’s virtual advisors fielded more than 30,000 questions in the first trimester, freeing up human advisors to handle more complex issues.

ProwdigyGame.com, whose free curriculum-aligned math game for Grades 1-8 is used by millions of students, teachers and parents, offers specific tips for leveraging educational technology tools in a report titled “25 Easy Ways to Use Technology in the Classroom.” Their ideas include:

• Running a Virtual Field Trip : Explore famous locations such as the Empire State Building or the Great Barrier Reef; or preview actual field trips by using technology to “visit” the locations beforehand.
• Participating in a Webquest : These educational adventures encourage students to find and process information by adding an interesting spin to the research process. For example, they could be placed in the role of detective to solve a specific “case,” collecting clues about a curriculum topic by investigating specified sources and web pages.
• Podcasting : Playing relevant podcasts — or assisting students in creating their own — can be a great way to supplement lessons, engage auditory learners and even empower students to develop new creative skills.

Educational technology strategist David Andrade reports in EdTechMagazine.com ( “What Is on the Horizon for Education Technology?” ) that current tools and trends include online learning and makerspaces, “with robotics and virtual reality expected to be widely adopted in the near future.” Peeking a little further into the future, Andrade says studies indicate that “artificial intelligence and wearable technology will be considered mainstream within four to five years.”

In practice, future innovation will come from the hearts and minds of the teachers who develop the knowledge and skills needed to discover the most engaging, effective ways to use educational technology strategies in classrooms, and virtual classrooms, far and wide.

Another essential definition of educational technology focuses on the theory and practice of utilizing new technology to develop and implement innovative educational approaches to learning and student achievement.

Behind all the high-tech tools, the digital bells and whistles, are the teachers who possess the skill — and the inspiration — to use these new technologies to expand the educational universe of their students.

According to a report by the International Society for Technology in Education ( “11 Hot EdTech Trends to Watch” ), “the most compelling topics among educators who embrace technology for learning and teaching are not about the tech at all, but about the students.”

Benefits for students include expanded opportunities for personalized learning , more collaborative classrooms and new strategies such as so-called “flipped learning,” in which students are introduced to the subject material outside the classroom (often online), with classroom time then being used to deepen understanding through discussion and problem-solving activities with peers.

For teachers who aspire to make an impact in this discipline, earning a master’s in educational technology is obviously about learning new tools, strategies and practices, but it’s also about understanding the supporting structures that must be in place to ensure the most successful outcomes. These include:

• Policy and legal issues
• Ethical issues (student privacy, etc.)
• Funding, grants and budgets
• Real-world applications (the world of work, partnership opportunities, etc.)
• Networking basics, hardware, learning management software
• Equity (community/school access and assets, student access)
• Ability to complete a school or district needs assessment/site tech survey analysis

Therefore, for educators who are inspired by the immense potential of educational technology, the value of a master’s degree cannot be overstated.

“We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand,” says education technology pioneer David Warlick, “because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world.”

In recent years, rising interest in educational technology has led to the emergence of new advanced degree programs that are designed to prepare educators to shift into an innovator’s mindset and become transformative technology leaders in their classroom, school or district.

The best programs are structured to impart a comprehensive understanding of the tools used in educational technology, the theories and practices, and critically important related issues (budgeting, legal/ethical considerations, real-world partnership opportunities, educational equity, etc.) that are essential for such technology-enhanced programs to deliver on their potential to inspire student learning, achievement and creativity.

For example, the University of San Diego, well-known for its innovative, online Master of Education program, is launching a new specialization. The program is designed to prepare teachers to become effective K-12 technology leaders and coaches, virtual educators and instructional innovators who embrace technology-influenced teaching practices to empower student learning.

The program’s fully online format — in which students learn from expert instructors who possess deep experience in the field, while also interacting with fellow teachers from across the country — enables busy education professionals to complete their master’s degree in 20 months while working full time.

Education 5.0: focus on pupils, not on technology

Involve more ministries in developing a vision for education.

Education has been under great pressure over the past year. Before we knew it, lessons were being taught mainly on a screen instead of in a classroom. Interaction between teachers and pupils was minimised. 

A necessary solution for the short term, but not the best option as we move forward. Together with the other ministries concerned, the Ministry of Education needs to formulate a more overall vision for education, the role of technology and the health of young people.  

Kristina Dervojeda, head of the Innovation Research Centre at PwC

Dehumanised education

‘Efficient, cost-effective and easy to use: technology offers huge potential for education,’ says Kristina Dervojeda, head of the Innovation Research Centre at PwC. 

‘However, we see that this is resulting in many schools – even primary schools – turning to a "dehumanised" version of education. That implies a minimum amount of human interaction, and a shift in decision-making from people to technology. These days, children even use technology to learn basic skills such as reading, writing and arithmetic. This trend is seen not only in standard schools, but also in schools with a special teaching philosophy, such as Montessori schools. That causes me concern,’ says Kristina Dervojeda.  

Working this way might be a good short-term solution in unusual situations such as the current coronacrisis, but it could have a very detrimental effect on students in the long run. Research shows that the youngest groups (under twelve years of age) are especially vulnerable to these effects. Delayed development, aggression, depression and digital addiction are just some of the effects we are seeing. What this tells us is that we should be very cautious about relying on technological solutions.

Long-term vision on education desirable

‘Politicians need to come up with a long-term vision for this. It is not only a matter for the Ministry of Education, but for all the ministries involved. The use of technology in education is set to increase, even after corona,' says Robert Loesberg, partner and chairman of the Education Group at PwC. It would be good to see the government coming up with a long-term vision on how technology can be properly incorporated into education without losing sight of the human aspect.’ 

‘Politicians need to come up with a long-term vision for the use of technology in education, without losing the human aspect.' Robert Loesberg Sub-Industry Leader Education at PwC

Political task to make education more relevant 

According to Loesberg, technology can be a huge help in adapting education to specific needs. ‘Technology can help to reduce inequality of opportunity by helping children in the subjects they struggle with. That makes education less generic.’

Dervojeda adds that the government should concentrate much more on the results students achieve. There should also be less emphasis on teaching individual subjects and more on multidisciplinary themes such as sustainability, energy and health. ‘That would make education much more relevant to the pupils themselves, but also to society as a whole. That is a task for our politicians.’

What is education 5.0?

Loesberg and Dervojeda refer to this as "Education 5.0". By this they mean the education of the future, which is about people rather than technology. 

‘In Education 5.0, technology is a way to add value and make education more effective. Education 5.0 is not about less or more technology, but about making conscious, responsible choices without losing sight of the bigger picture. In Education 5.0, special attention is paid to aspects such as privacy, ethics, security and technological mindfulness. It prepares students for lifelong learning and lays the foundation for a wide range of skills that go far beyond the digital.’

Recommendations for the new government in developing an overall vision:

• Approach technological transformation from the perspective of desired learning outcomes for people and do not put technology at the centre of the education agenda.
• Encourage initiatives to identify and disseminate good examples of the elements of Education 5.0. 
• Encourage education and training providers to develop common guidelines for the design and implementation of Education 5.0 and encourage their adoption.
• Encourage initiatives to monitor, analyse and prevent bad examples of digital education.
• Develop guidelines for education providers and students on data protection and privacy, as well as other aspects of digital ethics.
• Provide a healthy environment in schools that takes account of the sharp rise in the use of technology. Examples include minimising/removing electromagnetic radiation in schools, encouraging physical activity among students, and initiatives that make students aware of the consequences of excessive screen use.

Differences Between Education 1.0 to 4.0 10

Education is finally changing -mostly because of the pandemic- but still, the change is here. New technology is being applied to this field and we must take advantage of what technology can provide to teachers, students, and parents. Here’s an overview on education from 1.0 to 4.0.

Education 1.0

• Authoritarian
• The student is the passive recipient
• Teacher-centered system – the teacher gives knowledge as the absolute leader in the classroom
• Technology is forbidden in the classroom

Education 2.0

• Communication and collaboration are starting to grow
• Exam-based approach – the result is the examination – Memorization of knowledge
• An underestimated student-centered approach – it’s talked about, but do not apply it.
• Some people think they stopped talking about teaching and they talk about learning and learning outcomes, but they are still on paper.
• The schools are still talking about hours of teaching …but we should talk about hours of learning!

Education 3.0

• Student-Centered approach
• The teacher is transformed into a coordinator/facilitator, advisor, learner and practice guide
• The student is researching
• Flip classroom method applies
• More dialogue, technology is everywhere, the student is self-learning and everywhere.
• The classical style classroom no longer exists
• Lesson Plans are now called Learning Plans

What’s next?

Education 4.0

• Co-creation and innovation is the center
• Whenever and wherever flipped classroom applied interactive practical exercise – face-to-face
• Learning is done at home or outside school, while in school students develop skills
• Development of personalized teaching and learning
• Learning Plans are now called Creativity Plans
• The technology is free and/or easily accessible, increased use of virtual reality
• Continuous evolution and innovation – therefore, a need for continuous training and development of new knowledge and skills by all.

Very nice materials. Thank you po for sharing these.

Thank you for visiting. I hope you find more resources on our site for your students or kids at home.

This presentation is an eye-opener! Teachers and learners must be oriented re the difference between Education 1.0 and Education 4.0… so much can be saved and can be maximized when we understand this and employ in the field. Thanks for the comprehensive yet understandable discussion. .

Some of Education 4.0 was put to the test during the pandemic, like flipped classrooms. Connectivity is still a huge issue with many classrooms across rural areas of the United States. The idea that students should prepare to take on multiple career paths still stands. Discussion-based learning instead of lecturing to students is still being supported by having students work in teams.

Thanks for sharing this real scenario. Pros and cons do exist. Localization and contextualization assisted with tech is appreciated in the field. Indeed, internet connection is a challenge.

How does your school approach remote or hybrid learning?

Very useful meterial.

Very useful .

How clearly have you stated the difference! Very useful post.

Most teachers know they’re playing with fire when they use tech in the classroom.

By Jessica Grose

Opinion Writer

A few years ago, when researchers at Boston College and Harvard set out to review all of the existing research on educational apps for kids in preschool through third grade, they were surprised to find that even though there are hundreds of thousands of apps out there that are categorized as educational, there were only 36 studies of educational apps in the databases they searched. “That is not a strong evidence base on which to completely redesign an entire schooling system,” Josh Gilbert, one of the co-authors of the study, told me over the phone.

That said, their meta-analysis of the effects of educational app use on children’s literacy and math skills, published in 2021, found that well-designed apps can make a positive difference when it comes to “constrained skills” — things like number recognition or times tables in math, or letter sounds in literacy. Unconstrained skills are more complex ones that develop over a lifetime of learning and can deepen over the years. (It’s worth noting that many popular educational apps are not high-quality .)

Gilbert said that overall, “the range of effects was gigantic.” Because they were all over the place, “we have to go beyond the average effect and say, OK, for whom does the app work? Under what conditions? On what types of measures? And I think those are the questions that researchers, policymakers, school leaders, teachers and principals should be asking,” he said. “What are the best use cases for this digital technology in the classroom?”

In last week’s newsletter , I came in pretty hot about the pitfalls of educational technology in American classrooms. I’m convinced that since students returned to in-person school after the disruptions of 2020-21, there are too many schools that haven’t been taking a thoughtful or evidence-based approach to how they’re using screens and apps, and that it’s time for a pause and a rethink. But that doesn’t mean there are no benefits to any use of educational technology.

So for the second part of this series, I wanted to talk to people who’ve seen real upsides from using tech in their classrooms. Their experiences back up some of the available research , which shows that ed tech can help teachers differentiate their material to meet the needs of students with a wide range of proficiencies. Further, teachers report that students with disabilities can really benefit from the assistive technologies that screens and apps can provide.

Debbie Marks, who teaches third grade in Oklahoma, told me that her students’ school-issued laptops allow them “to participate in differentiated reading interventions designed specifically for them” during the school day. That differentiation allows her to better assess how each student has progressed and tailor her instruction to each student.

“So for example, we could be working on story elements and we’re working on characters,” she explained to me when we spoke. “One student might be at the point where they’re just trying to identify who the main character is. Another student might be trying to identify character traits while a higher-level student would be comparing characters or would be identifying how the character changes throughout the story based on the plot. So it really allows me to develop one-on-one lessons for every kid in my classroom.”

Marks works in a rural district, about 90 minutes away from Tulsa, and some of her students may be traveling 45 minutes to an hour just to get to class. She said that the use of devices allows her to better connect with her students’ parents and to get them more involved in what’s going on in a classroom that is physically far from them. Marks also said that screens enable her to do things like virtual author visits, which she says get the kids really excited and engaged in reading.

I also heard from several teachers who said that assistive technology has been a game changer for students with special needs. Duncan Law, who works as a special education support teacher in an elementary school in Oregon, put it this way: “Technology can be a necessity for students with special needs in accessing core curriculum/standards, as well as for fluency practice. In the best case scenario, learning via tech is guided and closely monitored by teachers, and students are actively engaged with feedback. For students with dysgraphia and dyslexia, word processing tools offer a meaningful way to demonstrate/assess their writing skills.”

Several middle school and high school teachers who said that tech was helpful in their classrooms seemed to be using it as an efficient way to teach students more rote tasks, allowing more class time to be spent helping build those “unconstrained” skills.

Doug Showley, a high school English teacher in Indiana who’s been teaching since 1996, gave me the example of how he has changed his quizzes over time by integrating technology. He used to just give straight-up vocabulary quizzes where students had to define words; now he and his colleagues have moved toward “diction quizzes,” requiring students to understand the nuances of using specific words in sentences.

Showley noted that it’s easier to quickly look up words than it was in the hard-copy dictionary days, and that his students “have access to online dictionaries” during these quizzes. They’re given four synonyms and are asked to figure out which synonym best fits into a sentence. “To determine that, they have to go beyond just that basic definition. They’ve got to get into the connotative meaning of the word and the common usage of the word,” he explained.

But Showley also said that he monitors the kids quite closely. When they’re doing a task that involves their laptops, he’ll have them set up so all of their screens are facing him. He estimates that usually only one or two kids out of a class of 25 really aren’t able to stay on task when they’re on the screens.

He also told me that his school has made the decision not to block A.I., including ChatGPT, though it is a hot topic of discussion. The challenge of dealing with A.I. is something that came up a lot among teachers in the upper grades, and the overall vibe I got was that no one quite knows what to do with it yet.

After we spoke, Showley emailed me to say that “we should carefully gauge to what degree and in what way tech is used at each level of education.” And he wrote something that I think really sums up both the promise and the peril of ed tech (and is also such a classic English teacher passage):

I couldn’t help but think of Prometheus defying the Olympic gods by sharing the first-ever technological advancement with humankind: fire. Fire, as with every other significant advancement since, both propelled society forward and burnt it to the ground. It enlightened our minds and souls, and it tormented them, just as Prometheus was perpetually tormented through his punishment for sharing too much of the gods’ power.

Perhaps deliberately, one of the popular digital whiteboards is the Promethean board.

The technology isn’t going away. We need to start creating better frameworks to think about how students and teachers are using technology in our schools, because the tech companies won’t stop pushing their products, whether or not there’s evidence that shows educational gains. CNN’s Clare Duffy reports that later this year, Meta “will launch new software for educators that aims to make it easier to use its V.R. headsets in the classroom,” though “it remains unclear just how useful virtual reality is in helping students learn better.”

In next week’s newsletter, I’ll write about solutions to some of the problems posed by ed tech, and how we might create a future where we can minimize some of the most egregious hazards of distraction and invasion of privacy, and realize some of the potential of technology’s most fantastic educational promises.
