Kids put all their energy into stupid kids apps on tablets which only cost their parents money, right?
- But the kids are sitting there sucked into 'achieving' mostly pointless things in the game,
If you spend money, you unlock new things and 'achieve' more things faster in the game.
Remember when we were all kids and they had scouts and guides?
What we all the kids doing? - answer 'achieving' merit badges
Learning, achieving, moving forward.
Why don't we use apps to tap into kids ability to learn things in a more productive way?
Use the app based game system of achievements and rewards to promote the learning of real life competencies.
Learn things and get certificates that can go on your digital resume, learn anything, at your own pace and in your own time.
(Even post out REAL certificates they can keep in a book of achievements)
Let's say your 7 year old son has an interest in rocks and geology
Or you're a fisherman and your daughter has an interest in marine ecosystems
Why let them waste 10 years waiting to finish Grade 12 to start doing university studies?
- If an app-based system of learning taught real life competencies
and gave them the ability to start learning about these interests when they're still aged 7?
They could be experts in a dozen different fields by time they finished Grade 12.
Use apps to teach real life competencies, which can be automatically added to a digital resume.
And drastically reduce the overall costs of all teaching / learning.
Go to McDonald's,
you'll find out the average 16 year old can't count real money
and they've never been taught how to make a sandwich properly.
What's the tech for if we don't use it to our benefit?
What are we doing? Use it to teach real life compencies
