Top 3 Value Bombs
1. The importance of unlocking true freedom is in the ability to learn and learn how to learn. This takes individual responsibility and personal initiative for your own future and education.
2. Fear of change is the enemy of progress. Change equals opportunity.
3. The solution both individually and collectively, is to harness the power of technology at our fingertips. To use technology in the way we teach and the way we learn by using the available tools like AI and machine learning to enhance human learning.
