The future of education?

“THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IF YOU’RE NOT THE ONE CONTROLLING YOUR LEARNING, YOU’RE NOT GOING TO LEARN AS WELL.”

This article focuses more on math and the sciences which makes me feel concerned for the humanities. However, I am fascinated by this concept. I have tried to model something like this in my room to varying degrees of success, but never for a prolonged period of time.  Students respond sometimes subconsciously to the stressors of public schooling which can at times sabotage creative teaching methods.  We can't separate our students from their cultural identity associated with technology, but we can set limits for creative collaboration with the support from administration (training, resources, trust) can't we?
