Take a look at 3 or more of these countries and briefly describe why these systems are so successful.

I need help with this BEH 103 course discussion. 

Watch the following fascinating perspective on education: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDZFcDGpL4U  (Note: you may want to take notes!)

Respond to the following items in 2-3 well-written paragraphs.  

  1. Summarize three main points you took away from this presentation.
  2. Visit the following website identifying the top educational systems in the world:http://www.ncee.org/programs-affiliates/center-on-international-education-benchmarking/top-performing-countries/ Take a look at 3 or more of these countries and briefly describe why these systems are so successful. Do you see any commonalities across these systems?
  3. Given what you have learned this week about the social sciences, education, and the transformative effect of technology on learning and development, propose an educational model for the future. What do you think should stay the same, what should change, and what role does technology play in helping to implement your model? What are the potential consequences (positive and negative) of the changes you propose?
