Teaching in the Fourth Industrial Revolution: Standing at the Precipice

In this visionary book, written by six internationally recognized Global Teacher Prize finalists, the authors create a positive and hope-filled template for the future of education. They address the hard moral, ethical and pedagogical questions facing education today so that progress can serve society, rather than destroying it from within our classrooms. This blueprint for education finally brings forward what has always been missing in education a strong collective narrative with authentic examples from teachers on the front line. It is a holistic, personalized approach to education that harnesses the disruptions of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to better shape the future for the next generation, and ensure that every child can benefit from the ongoing transformations.

A great read for anyone who has an interest in educating our youth for these uncertain times, highlighting why teachers will always matter.

Although it took me longer than anticipated to finish the book, it was great to finish the book starting in 2020. What's great about the book is that it's from educators/ teachers that have identified the problems in their communities and used that as a catalyst to create change recognizing that it starts within themselves first.
Problems in the educational system will always be there but as quoted in the book, "Will each of us have the courage?".

Cuốn này nên bỏ qua mấy đoạn khen và giới thiệu. Nó khá là dài dòng và sẽ bị phóng đại quá mức về nội dung cuốn sách. Nhưng nội dung thì thực sự tuyệt. Cứ như dát vàng vào trang sách vậy. Là một người làm trong ngành giáo dục. Mình thực sự rất nể phục cách mà các giáo viên khác đã sử dụng và cố gắng rất nhiều để đem nền giáo dục đến với những nơi kém phát triển nhất. Với sự phát triển của Internet, các em có thể tiếp cận nền giáo dục tiên tiến cũng như ứng dụng những gì đã học vào thực tế

A really good read, some good perspectives, keen to see a Koen and Jelmer collaboration as there sections were especially powerful and showed a good, global overview of the educational world that we live in.

This book discusses the use of cross-disciplinary projects to help students solve real problems in today's world. In addition, it argues for connections with schools in other countries to help build world competencies and empathy.

Este libro me lo tope visitando la librería antes de salir de vacaciones. Ya lo termine y me da una pista sobre los temas de educación en los que debo seguir mi investigación. Una lectura recomendable a todos los involucrados en la educación de los niños incluidos los padre de familia aunque no este dirigido a estos sino a los maestros.
