A general idea

I would like to expand my principal idea about this blog. It’s about the current education and the changes that it has suffered. We are an active part of this online movement and I think that is important to take it with responsibility.

In my opinion the E-Learning concept is the first step to change the paradigm of education. To build new spaces and to pull down the old institutions. It brings to us all the opportunity to make free education for everybody. The real freedom in contents, methods and learning.

There is some truth in that we have to learn how to unlearn old conceps, methods and visions of life in order to adapt with change. This is the most important and difficult step to change but must be embraced in order to progress.

The Educational Institutions as we know them are useless for the currently society. There are theories that we are still taught in our schools and colleges that aren’t successful or relevent anymore.

Our minds are an active construction of our vision of reality. Our minds are built from our experiences and we base our life from them.

I recommended reading some works from Piaget, Vygostky and John Dewey that can help us to reflect on these theories. They speak about; how to learn and how to construct our knowledge in a positive way.

In my opinion, E-Learning is the perfect tool to make these theories a possibility for everybody. This is because it gives free access to education and information allowing ourselves to develop and enhance critical thinking.
