One of the things that I've been really thinking about is that if our school systems and our education system
我一直在思考的一件事是如果我们的学校系统和教育系统
is supposed to feed our democracy or become a microcosm of it, then what is it that kids need to learn and be able to do?
应该为我们的民主提供支持或者成为民主的一个缩影，那么孩子们需要学习什么和做什么呢?
And I think explicit instruction around community and getting along more than getting ahead, or kind of figure out a way to pair them.
我认为应该在社区中进行明确的指导和相处，而不是取得进步，或者是想办法让他们配对。
I think there's some implicit silent stretch throughout our entire culture that says it's more important to get ahead than it is to get along.
我认为在我们的整个文化中有一种隐含的无声观念，认为进步比与人相处更重要。
And I think we're smart enough and we have enough wisdom and knowledge and ingenuity to figure out how to do both so that the way that we live doesn't have to hurt other people.
我相信我们有足够的聪明、智慧、知识和创造力来找到如何同时做到两点，这样我们的生活方式就不会伤害到其他人。
And I think those are lessons that I think school... and I think that's the opportunity that education has in this moment to really push students and think about what is the right way to live,
我认为这些课程是学校应该...我觉得现在教育就拥有这个机会，去真正推动学生去思考什么是正确的生活方式，
how do we do it and how do we do it in a way that doesn't hurt or rob the dignity of other people?
我们该如何去做，以及我们该怎么做才能不伤害或剥夺他人的尊严?
And then what do we need to learn about the natural world, about mathematics to make those things happen, to develop those new ways of working.
以及我们需要学习自然界的什么，学习数学的什么，以实现这些目标，并发现新的工作方式。
In an online space there are no boundaries, there are only the boundaries and the walls that we erect and we are able to keep and we do work to keep them up.
在网络空间里没有界限，只有我们设立并能够努力保持的边界和墙壁。
I was talking to a school leader the other day and I said you know, there's no stopping you from teaching kids in Mexico, Canada, in all 50 states if you think that way.
前几天我和一位学校领导聊天，我说，你知道吗，只要你愿意这么想，就没有东西能阻止你教在墨西哥、加拿大以及美国50个州的孩子。
We didn't have the technology 20 years ago, but we do now
20年前我们没有这种技术，但现在我们有了，
so what does a school community look like when we are able to blur the traditional lines that have kept us apart
当我们能够擦去曾经让我们分隔异地的传统界限，
and intentionally figure out how do we cross lines of independent and public schools?
并有意识地找出如何跨越独立学校和公立学校的界线时，一个学校的社区会是什么样子?
How do we cross lines of parochial and public and independent so that we can actually practice learning together and respecting the differences that each one of us bring forth?
我们如何跨越教区、公共和独立的界限，一起学习并尊重我们每个人的差异?
I think that that's a moment we've never experienced before and I think having school leaders think about like your school community is your local community in which you lead,
这是我们之前从未有过的经历，学校领导会认为你的学校社区只是你领导的本地社区，
but there's an unbounded community that has kids in every country at this point, kids on every continent that you have the capacity to reach and connect with.
但有一个无界的社区，它可以接纳任何国家的孩子，可以接触和联系每一个大陆上的孩子。
How do we start thinking about our education in that way so that we could start to lower kind of like the provincial walls that separate us and think about ourselves as a global community?
如何看待我们的教育，以便降低地方界限，并把自己看作一个全球社区?
We have a kind of a cultural mantra that says you know then you do, but I think in this moment we should think about we do to know.
我们有一种文化咒语说，你知道你才会去做，但我认为在这个时刻，我们应该考虑我们先做才会知道。
Does that make sense?
明白了吗?
Like how do we start doing things on a small scale with reduced risk to learn and to know?
比如我们如何在小范围内开始实验，以降低学习和了解的风险?
I think that what I've seen is when the risk to fail or the permission to fail is giving people feel that they can try new things.
我认为我所看到的是，失败的风险或允许失败会让人们认为他们可以尝试新事物。
And I think that this is an important time and space where while I understand and know that the fear and uncertainty can make people say we've got to be super rigid in standards,
我认为现在的时空非常重要，人们的恐惧和不确定性会让他们觉得我们一定要对标准非常严格，
and that's really important don't get me wrong, I think this is also a time and space to say we've never been here before,
这一点很重要，不要误会，但我认为现在也是时候说我们遇到了前所未有的情况，
we know that our collective intelligence will help us figure it out, we need to, one, democratize that
我们的集体智慧将帮助我们渡过难关，我们需让它民主化，
and allow everyone to help figure it out and do small things and kind of create schools as labs.
让每个人都能帮助解决问题，能做一些小事情，把学校当成实验室之类的。
What did we learn about it? What do we want to scale up?
我们从中了解到了什么?我们想要扩大什么?
What do we want to trash? What do you want to tinker with?
我们想要扔掉什么?你想修补什么?
And have that be the way we develop knowledge by actually doing things.
让它成为我们通过实际行动来发展知识的办法。
