Excited about online education for kids.
Here’s why:
1) Kids are already used to communicating by video chat.
2) They intuitively understand technology, so you can assume technological knowledge.
3) Software makes it easy to create things, so schools can be project-focused.

Online education is increasingly live, not recorded. Compared to adults, kids are much more comfortable speaking on video. TikTok, video games, and smartphones are raising a generation of creators unlike anything we’ve seen before.

@anafabrega11 It’s hard to communicate how different online education is when it’s live.
Recorded modules are too slow, which kills the fun of online learning. But live courses are different. They enable intercontinental friendships, spurred by one-on-one feedback and conversation.

@anafabrega11 Of course, live education doesn’t work for everything. But people who are technical and curious (the kind of people who use Twitter) underestimate the demand for social learning experiences.
Also, in school, the friends you make are as important as the skills you learn.
