One of the biggest challenges educators face is student engagement in lessons.

Motivation is a critical element for any learning to take place.

Today’s classrooms face challenges on student engagement from games and social media that are rich in feedback and are highly entertaining.

The Problem

Our system of education has not kept pace with the changes wrought by technology and social pressures.

The students of today are not the same as the students who learned in the one-room Victorian-era schoolhouse that became the model for our global system of education.

Designed to create identical copies of skilled workers who could support a global empire in a time before global communications, the system is failing to address the growing challenge of a hyper-connected world.
