[video] Isaac Asimov on the Internet & Education

This is totally captivating. Way back in 1988, Asimov saw the potential of the Internet to transform education – personalize it, improve the quality of it, engage us as learners in a 1:1 way…

“People think of education as something that they finish.” Asimov saw the Internet as changing that.

It seems the world is catching up with Asimov, both technology-wise and, suddenly, in terms of thought leadership on education. If you haven’t already, see our previous posts here on the Khan Academy and Bill Gates.

What do you think? Can the Internet help transform learning (even more than Google Search and Wikipedia already have)? Is it already?
