The Emerging Future of Learning

Author: Sugata Mitra

In 1999, Sugata Mitra conducted the famous “Hole in the Wall” experiment that inspired three TED Talks and earned him the first million-dollar TED prize for research in 2013. Since then, he has conducted new research around self-organized learning environments (SOLE), building “Schools in the Cloud” all over the world. This new book shares the results of this research.

Historias para entender la educación del futuro

Autor: Pepe Menéndez

A partir de experiencias puntuales e historias reales –como la de Albert, uno de sus alumnos, dolor de cabeza para sus maestros y sin embargo capaz de salvar la vida de su amigo Jaime–, Menéndez nos invita a reflexionar sobre la educación, con la intención manifiesta de encender un debate al interior de las instituciones educativas, en las casas y en grupos de educadores y de estudiantes. El objetivo es conseguir que el aprendizaje sea el motor de una educación más humana y acorde con las competencias de nuestro tiempo.
