Future Of Learning | What Could The School Of 2030 Really Look Like? | An Audio Signals Conversation With Michael Yates
Once upon a time, a student that hated the school system made his mission to change it. Today he is going strong at it, and he is telling us how and his vision for 2030.
Inspired by one of his articles, we invited Michael Yates, Co-Founder of Guide, Keynote Speaker & Education Consultant.
“What was school like for you? I hated school. I hated the desks in rows, the standardized testing, and the awful cafeteria food. More than anything, I could not stand the vast amounts of time I felt I was wasting by learning things that held no relevance to my adult life. As a student, I dreamed of doing school a different way. I now spend almost every day working to disrupt and change the system that I believe failed me and so many other students. I talk, write and dream so much about the future of learning, education, and schools. Here is what I think school could look like in 2030.”
Join us for this passionate conversation about what school should and should not be.

There is one truth that is not told enough: technology is not magic — but it can be magical.
Technology is human — it is part of who we are... our evolution... our future.
Will it be a Dystopian or Utopian one? Well, that is up to us, and nobody else.
