IDEO's, one of the most amazing companies ever, has come up with ten tips about how to bring education into the 21st century. In IDEO's ten tips, curiosity is an important factor as it will make the students teach themselves, make them wonder and feel the need to look for answers. Besides I think this technique will empower students of all ages as they become more independent and well-informed. At least they will know where to go for answers as oppose to waiting for them or get them only when they need answers.
Oh! an inquisitive mind.
Besides, we can take advantage of kids' natural need to questions everything. If you have ever babysitted or been around kids you will know this. The most discouraging part is to see this inquisitive nature die off as kids get older. Nobody raises hands in 10th grade, they either feel embarrassed not to know or the way subject is presented is beyond boring, so no participation from them.
Here is the article with the 10 tips. Of course this is only the beautiful beginning.
