Instagram carousels have become the new cool.

Packed with so much of value, the majority of them have a lot offer especially when someone is willing to learn from.

Learn new things in just 10 Slides

We thought of making our dashboard section a little more engaging and valuable for our users. Most of them just come here to document their activity in the form of a timeline. So from now, they can learn on various topics as well. That too in just 10 slides.

We have been thinking for quite a while now so finally, we found this something worth implementing and can add value to our users.

With the internet, future generation schools would be the same like we have now. According to David Perell, “The current system is rooted in conformity. Education is one-size-fits-all. It’s reactionary — oriented towards past values and past technologies. It forces us to learn the same things, in the same way, at the same place, at the same pace, at the same age.”

Students care too much about grades and not enough about learning. As Neil deGrasse Tyson once wrote: “When students cheat on exams it’s because our school system values grades more than students value learning.”

What future education looks like?

Work and education will co-evolve. Short term, project-based work will replace long-term, open-ended jobs. A job will be a task that you do, not a position that you have.

He put this in a very interesting way:

Education will be decentralized. It will not be guided by a single vision, but rather the iterative work of people everywhere.

Editing a video? There’s a class for that.

Publishing a book? There’s a class for that.

Launching an online store? There’s a class for that.

Online education inverts the learning process. In school, we start with the basics and expand towards curiosity. Online, we start with curiosity and expand towards the basics.

🔥 The bottleneck of learning has shifted towards motivation.

Learning will happen in batches. Spontaneous curiosity drives daily learning; timely projects drive weekly learning; long-term projects drive monthly learning; long-term goals drive yearly learning.

🎓 The internet is the best school ever created. The best peers are on the Internet. The best books are on the Internet. The best teachers are on the Internet.

So, today I came across a Climate School.

🌍 Have you ever thought of climate school?
