Mechanize or Innovate ?!

or!

Innovate ?!

Or …..!…go behind !the leaders!

Quality  educa,on  of  people  is  closely  linked  to  the  prosperity  and  progress  of  the  socie,es  to  which  they  belong.  

MATGRAN  develop  ICT  and  AI  based  tools  with  the  aim  to  contribute  to  the  growth  of  our  society.  

In traditional classrooms, students complete a lesson and move on to the next when is it time for the whole class to do, regardless of whether they have mastered it or they are already well ahead.!

We  should  no  aim  to  replace  the  physical  classroom.  Instead  we  have  an  opportunity  to  blend  the  virtual  with  the  physical  and  reimagine  educa9on  en9rely.  

(Arne  Duncan)  

Virtual  tools  are  providing  an  opportunity  to  rethink  this  methodology.  

(Salman  Khan)  

In  this  “blended  learning”  reality,  the  professor’s  rule  is  moved  up  the  value  chain:  -­‐ Time  of  lecturing,  wri9ng  exams  and  grading  them  VS.  Interact  with  students  -­‐   Enforcing  sit  and  listen  passivity  VS.  mentor  and  challenge  the  students  to  take  control  of  their  own  learning  (perhaps  the  most  important  skill  of  all)  

(Salman  Khan)

Nobody knows the future …!

But one thing is true: !Families, Schools, Companies,!Country, must define a !strategy for the future.!

Although,!

Many tactics without!Strategy = DISORDER !!

Much strategy without!Tactics = DREAM !!

ICT is not just a tool,!Is a force to provoke !the change!

If the challenge!is innovation,!we accept it.!
