Isn’t it amazing?  A 12 year old girl Adora who presented in front of a huge crowd of adults at this TED talk, speaking with great confidence and articulation.  Her message was compelling - that adults should learn from kids.

Our future will depend on our next generation – our kids, and it’s time to invest into their education, so they could contribute and lead in the society when they grow up as adults.  That’s why we as educators, parents and adults need to listen to our kids, understand their needs and support their learning through education, mentoring, and guidance.  That’s also how adults could learn from kids, preparing their kids for future challenges. 

All these learning could be enhanced with the use of Web 2.0 and social media tools and platforms, games and mobiles, where adults and kids are connected more readily and closer together, with more intimate relationships formed, and in making a better world of tomorrow.

We are the future – the kids and us!
