When you are a professor at a pre-eminent university, you may not expect to question the value of a traditional college education. Abel Sanchez looks at education’s digital transformation, MOOCs, flipped classrooms, and other alternatives to query what the future holds for secondary and post-secondary education. Using his MIT classroom, Abel has tested and developed novel educational methods that allow his students to learn more, retain more, and enjoy the experience. Abel, an MIT Professor, is the Executive Director of MIT's Geospatial Data Center, architect of "The Internet of Things" global network, and architect of data analytics platforms for many Fortune 500 companies. In cybersecurity, Abel architected systems for the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity agency. Abel has a passion for education working globally with corporations such as Microsoft and the Accenture Technology Academy. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
