Special blog assignment

                                        red circle reading free education for all
                                             
         A world where grades will be left behind

     Sebastion Thrun, a professor at Stanford University in PALO ALTO, California has some great ideas to share with us. He starts off by saying education should be free and available to anyone. In his close to perfect world, no one would ever be late for class. On another note, he said that learning should be as fun as a video game. Thrun taught a free online artificial-intelligence course to more than 160,000 students. This method is also called flipping your classroom and introducing the students to more computer assignments. This also helps educators to update there teaching skills to meet the needs of today's computer driven world.


     In my opinion, Sebastion Thrun presents some great ideas to really consider using. I could surely see this method working wonders for classrooms all across the United States. Just think of the endless possibilities if everyone could earn a free education. There are lots of people that want to father their education, but they just can't afford to do so at this time. If schools would adopt Thrun's ideas students would love to come to school because it would be fun to them. When learning is fun, you can encourage more students to attend because it becomes exciting to them. I hope that one day Thrun's idea are introduced to schools all across the nation.
