This is an interesting article. If Daniel Kahneman's 'dual-process' theory is correct, it could be a useful way to think about technology education (and maybe even education in general). Maybe what teachers should be consciously focusing on is helping students develop their ability to access and use 'system 2' vs. the much easier and instinctual leap to 'system 1'. Of course, schools already do this--we wouldn't be able to teach students without doing it. Making it an explicit goal though might be helpful in guiding the curriculum.


This is a cool idea. They have selected 100 innovative year-long projects in Finnish schools and an additional 100 projects in schools around the world. From the website: "All insights and best practices will be documented, packaged and shared with the world for free. In Fall 2017 we will launch our digital service HundrED Share, organize seminars in various cities across the world, release a book and five short documentaries."

Currently, you can view all the projects they have selected in Finland and follow the progress. They are open for submissions for the global 100 projects.

The organization in charge of the initiative is called SCOOL. They also have some other interesting products/projects:
  • Campus - Seminars to help teachers learn about innovation and change around the world 
  • Dreamdo Schools - A platform for creating/sharing project-based learning ideas 
  • Triplet - A service to 'transform news into educational material overnight'
