"laaa" learn anything, anyplace, anywhere...education 3.0

I believe the world should commit itself to achieving the goal of flattening global education before the end of the next decade, of exploring and developing a free, complete education solution for all people of the world. So no matter who you are, or where you are, people can access the best education possible, for free!" -- Michael J. Trout, Founder EDUIT, Inc.

For over 3000 years "sage on the stage" Education 1.0 has dominated human culture. Education 2.0 is now emerging as schools, teachers and students start to utilize social networks and web 2.0 tools in education. Media 3.0 is coming and its coming fast! Education 3.0 will emerge as the possibly the most disruptive technology of the 21st century. Any time now a company could roll out an education solution that will completely redefine learning as we know it. The solution will emerge from media 3.0 and as social networking and distributed mutual media merges disconnected education systems into a single global distributed learning platform called e3.0. And when it does eSingularity will have happened. The moment in our history when all learning is done from one multimedia driven application. Uniting and plugging in all learners and educators into the same platform. Getting us there will take a eRevolution and I am its leader.

Imagine, being able to learn anything, anyplace, anywhere from multiple authorities from your XO, iphone, nintendo DSi, PSPi or any similar device. Imagine being able to play enticing e-games that reinforce the topic key points you just watched or reinforce knowledge from a week, month, or more than year ago; and as you do earn reward points for remembering, achieving goals and milestones, completing assignments and connecting with others in virtual classrooms all around the world. A lot of these technologies are emerging fragmented through out the web.

Imagine an environment where learning never stops and is free and accessible to all regardless of their social or economic disposition, funded, like Google, by back-end ad revenue; and like universities, by corporations wanting access to the best and the brightest minds just like sport teams do top athletes. What would top Institutions be willing to sponsor for a future Ed Witten, Plato, or Descartes to join their ranks? And don't forget the regional investors wanting to help their communities. Imagine the end of silly assessment tests, the demise of the bloated and abusive cert industry. Imagine how classes would change in schools and universities. The death of the sage on the stage forever! Where schools and universities become places for networking and applying knowledge and operate more like fraternal mentors competing to for top students like professional sport teams do for top athletes.

Imagine being able to quickly identify brilliant minds just by how they interact within an intelligent e-learning environment. Have you ever pondered how many great minds have starved to death? I have. Or been killed in ignorant conflicts? I have. This is just the beginning... There is far more. Education 3.0 will have tremendous impacts on human society, that are currently unimaginable because they lie on the other side of the new paradigm making them invisible for us to see at this time. The possibilities for society because of e3.0 are truly staggering. And their exists a real potential for abuse too. Apart from the obvious ones... Can you imagine an intelligent twitter reporting all your learning activities to the central government. I could imagine quite a few existing governments would like that...

We have spent 2 billion on Superconducting Super Collider that was never finished, 25 billion on a space station that has done what for humanity? and now billions on researching geo-engineering GW solutions... For what it cost to make the Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a movie Hollywood has wanted to make for 50 years and couldn't-because they lacked the technology, we could develop, like Wikipedia did for web 2.0, the plug to usher in a new era for education where anyone can learn anything, anytime, anywhere.

All the technology is in place for e3.0 to happen, we need only to make the plug -- the Educational Singularity is upon us. The only question is when will we opt to build it? Who will build it? and who will control it?

We are looking for investors! Are you one of them? We are looking for top engineers and software developers are you one of them? We are looking for regional representatives are you one of them? -- Information to follow stay tuned!

The Future of Education... e3.0

So many say we are blinded by the speed technology is developing and we cant see where education is headed... as we try to focus in on the details we fail to see the big picture. But if only we took a step back and looked it would become pretty obvious. And I want to share it with you.

So what is eduction 3.0? In the simplest of terms, think of the education system as a power grid or in this case an instructional grid, where every participant plugs into it or doesn't. In the current 1.0 educations system all plugs are independent doing their own thing, its an inefficient system where no one knows whats going on with each plug: Is it getting enough current? is it even plugged in? is overloaded? or about to go into meltdown? Now imagine if all the plugs were data linked to an intelligent instructional grid via the Cloud (Internet). Hmm...

You know, our conventional plugs haven't changed for 100 years; in essence education plug hasn't changed in over 3000. Just as we will see intelligent plugs coming onto the market, the emergence of e3.0 is inevitable and comes down too just building the plug. Everything else is already in place. My goal is to promote the vision of a global intelligent distributed learning network--e3.0; raise awareness and support for it, and ultimately partner with others to build the plug. Join the e3.0 revolution -- change the world.
