アクティブラーニングが授業の基本☆.jpg
21世紀B(高3生)の授業では、現在、グローバル企業の事例研究を通して「クリティカルシンキング」を鍛えるための授業を実施しています。6月15日には、ITを駆使して旅行業界にイノベーションをもたらしたAirbnb(本社:米カリフォルニア州)のビジネスモデルについて学びました。加えて、近い将来私たちのライフスタイルを大きく変える可能性を秘めたIoT(インターネット・オブ・シングズ)についても学習しました。これからチャレンジする「高校生ビジネスプラン・グランプリ」の準備として、イノベーションに関する考察は着々と深まっています。

Challenging Assumption: Airbnb Case Study
Gearing up for their participation in the third annual High School Business Grand Prix, 21st B students viewed videos and analyzed web reports and financial graphs to learn about Airbnb, a startup that has grown rapidly and greatly impacted the global travel industry. Students answered questions on how the company turned problems into business opportunities through challenging assumptions to offer new solutions (a theme of the 21st Century class). They also looked into the financial history of the company and discussed how through an English language website, rapid financial growth is possible in today's world. Finally, students thought about and discussed the economic, social, and cultural impacts that this company is having on the world. Insights gained from this class will guide them as they create their own business proposals for the competition later this year. Good luck guys!

Web 3.0: the Internet of Things (IoT)
In the late 1990's, Web 2.0 tools started what we now know of as social networking services (SNS) that allow us to easily communicate with people and business all over the world through the Internet.
These days, we already see tools that are considered Web 3.0 and called the Internet of Things (IoT). Similar to how Web 2.0 tools allowed people to connect with each other, these new Web 3.0 tools will allow our things (cars, refrigerators, TVs, phones, etc.) to be connected and synchronized. These technological connections, perhaps, will make our lives, from leisure activities to work activities, much more convenient and interesting. Future jobs will require knowledge of IoT and learning about its potential now is important.
