A Journey of Gratitude, Resilience, and the Power of Education
In a recent episode of Unmasking Humanity, host Joshua T. Berglan sat down with the remarkable Dr. Rehana Lynda Mohamed, an educational consultant, instructional designer, and the visionary behind the groundbreaking ESTREAM curriculum. This episode was filled with laughter, profound insights, and a glimpse into the future of education.
"ESTREAM is not just a curriculum; it's a movement to illuminate the world through education." – Dr. Rehana Lynda Mohamed
A Trailblazer in EdTech
Dr. Mohamed's journey is nothing short of inspiring. From a high school student with a 1.56 GPA to a Doctor of Education, she has defied expectations and embraced her passion for transforming education. Her creation, ESTREAM, is a testament to her dedication and innovative spirit.
ESTREAM: Illuminating the World
Described as a "person illuminating the world", ESTREAM embodies the 21st-century skills, mindset, and technological prowess needed to thrive in today's global landscape. Aligned with the UNESCO 2030 goals, it integrates environmental awareness and sustainability into its framework, starting from kindergarten and scaffolding all the way to high school.
Boundless Classrooms and the Future of Education
Dr. Mohamed envisions a future where classrooms are no longer confined by physical boundaries. By 2050, she predicts the rise of "boundless classrooms", where students can learn from anywhere in the world using VR technology. Imagine attending a math class taught by a teacher on a boat in the Keys, while you're comfortably seated in your own home. This vision is closer than we think, with ESTREAM leading the charge in making education accessible and engaging for all.
The Power of Adaptability
In an ever-changing world, adaptability is key. Dr. Mohamed emphasizes the importance of equipping students with the skills to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the future. ESTREAM prepares students for the jobs of tomorrow, ensuring they are not left behind in the wake of technological advancements.
