Ever realized how rigid in inculcation some of the eastern and former British colonial education systems tend to be? I have no doubt that it served its purpose back in its day. We now see the influence of modern ideas and concepts in education systems let us say, in South Asia and the Middle East. One of the new kids on the block that is rapidly gaining market share in the UAE is Bon Education. An educational leadership mentoring program as I would like to call it, that aims at teaching educators to exploit the vast resources available on the internet like the Open Education Resources (OER's) to improve classroom education. This is an extension of the digital bridge (as discussed in one of my previous articles) into the education systems in our countries. This inevitable revolution holds the key to the improvement of future masses!
Think about it. Some of the countries in Asia where poverty is rampant are home to millions of people that do not even have access to basic education. Bon Education is one solution that is cost effective and capable of transforming the way we teach and learn. It opens out a whole new world of collaborative education where the parents can be involved in the day to day advancement of their little ones. Imagine a parent at work that is able to connect with the school system, particularly the classroom and the teachers right from his/her desk at work! Open Education Resources like peer-reviewed curricula to recommended reading and interactive learning tools and resources, all for free!
