Why the name 21apples?
I am constantly thinking about how the 21st century is different for education. Rapid development in computing power and the Internet has produced incredible opportunities for teachers and students.
Ok, I get the 21, but why the apples?
An apple has long been a symobl of education. The teacher’s desk marked with a solitary apple. 21apples represents a new paradigm. Many apples, many sources of learning and teaching. There is no longer one teacher. Students must be able to learn from teachers, from other students, from experts in the field, from communities, and most importantly, from their own exploration of concepts. Many apples are these many avenues.
