Build a School in the Cloud + Google Project Loon = the Future Education for Rural Areas


之前看了TED演講「Sugata Mitra: Build a School in the Cloud」:

Onstage at TED2013, Sugata Mitra makes his bold TED Prize wish: Help me design the School in the Cloud, a learning lab in India, where children can explore and learn from each other -- using resources and mentoring from the cloud
這時我就就思考到網路與雲端教育連結的問題,Mitra驗證了給窮人機會,他們會自己學習成長。但是如何拉網路或光纖到窮鄉僻壤,光是深山上要申請光世代,hinet都是回覆等等等。直到昨天看了 +Google[X] 的 +Project Loon 終於聯想到兩個創意整合的「未來教育無限可能」,尤其是對於弱勢族群的教育改善。



對於Education on the Cloud的深遠影響,還有 Khan Academy 這是後來由Bill Gates贊助的雲端線上教育服務,已經融入美國多所學校的教育。


Microsoft (Bill Gates) and Google (Sergey Brin) 在致富後,都同樣以其個人資源致力於解決世界難題,值得尊敬。
