Join renowned education expert Yong Zhao as he challenges traditional notions of learning to better prepare students for an AI-enabled future. Yong believes in the power of just-in-time learning over the outdated just-in-case approach. He encourages us to understand what makes each student unique and what truly motivates them, rather than focusing on their weaknesses. Yong envisions a world where schools prioritize real-world problem-solving, freeing educators and students from the constraints of rigid curriculum and testing. Prepare to be inspired as Yong invites us to reflect on our legacy and purpose as educators.
