Steve Hargadon. 21st Century Fluency Project. The Future of Learning (Video & Report) Peter Thiel Talks The Future Of Education, The Need For Innovation And Why Facebook Won At DLD. PayPal co-founder, early Facebook investor and Founders Fund partner Peter Thiel today took the stage at the DLD conference in Munich for a very wide-ranging discussion about the future of education education, how we can sustain growth in the developed world and why Facebook won out over MySpace.

Education Technology as Content Delivery. Khan Academy proudly states on its website “168,382,612 lessons delivered,” something that always reminds me of the slogan that used to accompany McDonalds’ golden arches: “over 200 billion served.” (I hope) We know better than to equate the billions of Big Macs sold with billions of healthy bodies or a well-fed world. Yet we still often equate “lessons delivered” with “learning,” as though their delivery necessarily offers a substantive intellectual nutrition. Of course, Khan Academy is hardly the only organization that refers to the intersection of education and technology in terms of the potential for enhanced “content delivery.” Technology, so the argument goes, will make education scalable, replicable, accessible, distributable and simultaneously both standardized and personalized.
