"First solve the problem, then write the code"-John Johnson

During U learn 2016 I had the great opportunity to head key note speaker John Couch.
John Couch:  “New dimensions in learning”

Rewiring education.

John Couch is the Vice President of Education at Apple, Inc. I have included a link about with more information about the key note speaker. 
Below I have included the notes of the important aspects of his talk. 

Leadership model:

• Vision-Mental Bicycle
• Mission-One computer: one person
• Directions-Strategic (consumer, education)
• Steps-Tactical (creative)
• People-Companions, not competitors.
• Guidelines: Think different.
• Impact of technology on learning: apples classroom of tomorrow (book)

If the student is engaged=learning will happen/they will learn.
I feel this is very true. If the students are engaged in the classroom then learning will happen.

• "Education is what people do to you. Learning is way you do for yourself"
• Education=process of receiving.
• Learning=acquisition of knowledge.

Vision is inspirational

Mission-Inspirational.

• Creating a learning environment around Technology.
• Used to do something in the classroom that you would not be able to do in the classroom.
• Engaging a new generation.
• "...All books, learning materials and assessment should be digital and interactive, tailored to act student and providing feedback in real time-Steve Jobs

Classroom of Today Tomorrow Schools.

Rewiring Education:
