Education is evolving

Yesterday I had an introductory course in MindMapping, a technique to put a lot of information on a single A4 page. If you don't know it, type the word in a search engine, you'll find a lot about it.

The instructor told us that this rechnique is also being introduced in schools. She showed us a coursebook about economics, which had a mindmap page for every chapter at the end of the book.

A few months ago someone else told me that in kindergarten, children now learn to tell other children what animal they are like. A shy person would be called a rabbit, aggressive children would be called a tiger. In this way they learn to distinguish personalities, and when other children tell them what animal they're like, they start to think about it, and may adjust their behaviour.

Those two examples prove that education is evolving in an amazing way. Children growing up today will likely learn better, and have nicer personalities. The future looks bright :-)
