Today at the : Founder of Master21, Melanie Kovacs, talked about lifelong learning and shares a story of her and chanel, our lead teacher.⠀
⭐️
I have a confession to make. In 2008 on a rainy day, I was sitting in a car. It was the day of my driving test. I had passed the theoretical exam without any mistakes and practiced several months, so I was ready to pass it. But, I didn't.⠀
⠀
⠀
I felt really frustrated, like a complete failure.⠀
Because up until then, I was used to passing every test with good grades. I was a good student. My strategy was: two days before the exam, I would memorize everything. The upside? A good grade. The downside? I forgot everything again. Sounds familiar to you?⠀
That day in 2008 made me realize: I knew how to get good grades, but I did not know how to learn. I was a good student but not a lifelong learner.⠀
⭐️⠀
I have another story for you. I run Master21, a school where we bring digital leaders together to learn 21st century skills, like programming or entrepreneurial thinking. So I am around people who learn all the time and I observed why and how they learn.⠀
This second story is about our lead teacher, .
Chanel originally did the KV, then transitioned into IT and became a project manager, working with programmers. She was so fascinated by the work of programmers, that she decided to make another career transition and become a software developer.⠀
⭐️
⠀
What I noticed when working with Chanel, or any programmer I've worked with is this: When I ask them, do you know how to do X? They might not know it, and what they tell me is: "Let me google this for you." They are used that the tools they work with, the technology, changes so fast, they are comfortable with not knowing everything. Their key skills is, they know how to find an answer, solve the problem and learn while doing it. ⠀
⠀
Do you see the difference between a lifelong learner and a good student?⠀
⭐️
And more important: Are you a good student or a lifelong learner? 💛⠀

At Master21 we strive to give our students the best learning experience possible. One way we do so is by learning from experienced teachers and coaches. Our Lead Teacher Chanel gets her inspiration from books like “Design for how people learn” by Julie Dirksen.

Her favourite quote: “A successful learning experience doesn’t just involve a learner knowing more - it’s about them being able to do more with that knowledge.”

Extract from the interview at the Learning Innovation Conference. Melanie Kovacs, Founder of Master21 answers the question: "What do you want to focus on for the next couple of years?"
At Master21 we regularly receive feedback from our attendees that they appreciate our learning atmosphere and that they enjoy learning with us. That's why we ask ourselves the question: What makes a learning experience joyful? One can say that we are on a mission to spread "joyful learning”. ✨
