Steve Jobs brainstorms with the NeXT team
I recognised his trademark passionate speech (02:43) about using technology to improve education.  Laden with superlatives, it's just like every Apple product launch since the iPod.<p>It's a great pity that education hasn't actually changed a bit in the intervening time.  Computers are pretty much just used for teaching computers, as electronic typewriters and libraries, and to cut down on admin.  They really are not used as learning aids, as 'simulated learning environments' or anything similar.<p>There's still a huge way to go in using IT in education.  I think the Khan Academy is one step, the opening up of journals is probably another.  We're a long way off what Jobs visualised even back in the late eighties.
