LIVE: The Evolution of Education + Tech is Happening Now

Updated with full video – see below.

Welcome to NewsDesk on SiliconANGLE TV for Tuesday July 9, 2013. Is the current educational model broken and does technology hold the solution to mending it?  Joining us now to discuss tech’s potential for improving traditional education is SiliconANGLE Head Writer and Correspondent Winston Edmondson.

See live feed below or visit youtube.com/siliconangle to watch on-demand.

Juan Lopez-Valcarcel, Chief Digital Officer at global education technology company Pearson, gave a talk at this year’s The Next Web Conference Europe in which he highlighted seven major trends in technology that may help to transform education now and in the future.

This morning, you’ll hear our very own Winston Edmondson discuss the technological trends in education, and he’ll give you his opinions on the controversial topics such as robotic teachers, stealth learning, and teaching kids for occupations that don’t even exist yet.

Also, in today’s discussion, you’ll hear how body language assessments could fundamentally change the modern paradigm of how teachers interact with their students.
