Foresight: Is the attempt to map projections into the

future and to explore their potential implications.

IT IS NOT some forecasting by experts, neither a

prophecy nor a prediction.

Scenarios: Is the attempt to work with those

who are concerned with the futures inquiry

and its implications, to generate a set of

plausible divergent future worlds.

IT IS a tool to challenge the assumptions of

any given or inevitable future.

The challenge of education

is to prepare the children of today for:

a world that has yet to be created.

jobs yet to be invented.

technologies yet undreamed.

Any foresight effort which focuses on the

role of education as a societal necessity.

KOUTSOPOULOS Professor NTUA and V.P. EUROGEO

Requires an examination of trends

and challenges in society,

technology and education.

SCENARIO FOR A NEW SCHOOL The new School on the Cloud can attain an

educational environment providing unity

without uniformity by creating the

foundations upon which to apply the new

Network centered paradigm which in turn

provides a Cloud based education.

IN ORDER TO PUT THE A SCHOOL ON CLOUD INTO OPERATION THERE IS:

A need to work within a susceptible to present

conditions educational paradigm (I propose the new

Network knowing paradigm)

A Suitable educational setting

to apply them (I proposed the

new Unity without Uniformity)

To have the appropriate instrument to be

able to do so (I propose Cloud Computing)

THE CLOUD BASED PROPOSED SCHOOL ON THE CLOUD

All stakeholders by utilizing the

same recourses and possibilities

have equal opportunities or Unity

The unusual combination of the

great abilities offered and the

ubiquity in providing any service

to all stakeholders negate the

necessity for Uniformity

THE EDUCATION PARADIGM NOWDAYS

Deprive present day students of

the tools they need most to master

the necessary skills and dexterities

(the necessary unity in the

education system)

Force them to follow a

predetermined path to achieve

them (not avoiding the barriers of

uniformity )
