What's the difference between asynchronous & synchronous learning? What activities would suit kids?

    What a great video infographic. Interesting to see the similarities and differences in the naming of the skills sets across various countries with inclusion of the OECD and UNESCO. Being Australian, I'm familiar with the 'general capabilities' and 'employability skills' (probably close to the ' enterprise skills'). I do like the 'transversal competencies' of UNESCO as they do align with the work I'm involved in with Genius School.

I found this article really interesting. Thoughts?

Don't want to send the kids back to school? Why not try unschooling at home?

Some schools are starting to open up after the coronavirus lockdown. But what if you're worried about sending you kids back too soon. Unschooling might be one solution, so how does it work?

    Barbara, is there one thing that you are most interested in becoming a specialist in, or are you happy to be a well-rounded generalist? Both are important. Generalists can make awesome connections across disciplines. Specialists help us to understand the deeper knowledge associated with a specific area. Welcome to the family.

      Definitely something that is happening globally as each country's education system responds and works of a road to recovery. A hybrid education system will emerge.
