2、 they shuld.我們今天處在一個很多經(jīng)濟強國沒有盡到他們責任的時代。T this challenge, this audience brings the prmise f digital and the spirit f innvatin. S I knw yu are all as pleased as I am that the G-8 leaders have made yur cntributins t ecnmic grwth a pririty fr their meeting this week.為了迎接這個挑戰(zhàn)，現(xiàn)場在座的各位都帶來了他們的在電子創(chuàng)新領(lǐng)域的承諾和精神。G

3、-8的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人們在這次峰會上把你們對經(jīng)濟的貢獻作為一項重要的議程，我也為各位開心，In particular, I wish t thank President Sarkzy and ur French hsts. Nt nly have they prvided this magnificent setting, they remind us f a truth reflected in the prud histry f this great natin: that artists and creatrs add great value t sciety. We hpe the G-8 wi

4、ll strngly affirm that the prperty rights f artists and creatrs are mre than a matter f prtecting cultures. In this new century, they are essential requirements fr a dynamic ecnmy and the digital future.在此我特別想感謝法國總統(tǒng)Sarkzy 和我們的法國東道主。他們不僅為我們提供了這樣宏偉的場地，同時也提醒了我們這個偉大國家背后的優(yōu)良傳統(tǒng)：藝術(shù)家和創(chuàng)作者為社會帶了巨大的貢獻。我們也希望G-8能夠

5、強有力的保障藝術(shù)家和創(chuàng)作者的版權(quán)。這不僅僅是保護版權(quán)，更是在保護我們的文化。在這個新時代，這是保證未來一個充滿活力的電子經(jīng)濟發(fā)展的必要前提。That digital future - and its cnnectin with educatin - is my tpic this afternn.科技和教育的關(guān)系，是我今天演講的主題。Every CE will tell yu that we cmpete in a wrld that is changing faster than ever. That it is mre cmpetitive than ever and that it re

6、wards success and punishes failure t a greater degree than ever befre.每一個CE都會告訴你這個世界比以往任何一個時期變化要快。競爭更加激烈，勝者王，敗者寇，在這個時代尤為明顯。In ther wrds, ur wrld is increasingly, and rightly, a wrld f merit. In such a wrld, the greatest challenge fr any enterprise is human capital: hw t find it, develp it and keep i

7、t.換一個說法，今天的世界是一個人才的世界。在這個世界里，所有企業(yè)面臨最大的挑戰(zhàn)就是人才資源：怎么樣找到人才，培養(yǎng)人才和留住人才。N ne in this rm needs a lecture abut hw talented peple in tandem with technlgy are making ur lives richer and fuller.今天的在座不需要我告訴你們科技怎樣在改變我們的生活，怎樣在創(chuàng)造更多的財富。Everywhere we turn, digital advances are making wrkers mre prductive - creating j

8、bs that did nt eist nly a few years ag, and liberating us frm the ld tyrannies f time and distance. This is true in every area ecept ne: Educatin.不管我們?nèi)サ侥睦铮覀兌伎梢钥吹诫娮涌萍冀o生產(chǎn)力帶來的進步。科技也創(chuàng)造了比以往更多的工作機會，同時把我們從時間和空間的局限中解放出來。Think abut that. In every ther part f life, smene wh wke up after a fifty-year nap wuld

9、 nt recgnize the wrld arund him.大家不知道有沒有想過，當今科技發(fā)展是如此的迅速。如果五十年前有一個人沉睡醒來，他將完全不能相信他今天身邊發(fā)生的事情：In medicine, dctrs wh nce diagnsed patients with tls they culd fit in their leather bags wuld be astnished t find their 21st century cunterparts using CAT-scans and MRIs.醫(yī)學領(lǐng)域，以前用著聽診器的醫(yī)生絕對想不到今天的同行們在用著CT掃描和核磁共振。I

10、n finance, brkers wh nce issued ld-fashined share certificates have been replaced by nline brkerages allwing peple t trade acrss the wrld at any hur f the day.金融領(lǐng)域，股票經(jīng)紀曾經(jīng)靠發(fā)放紙制的股票本票，今天都已經(jīng)被網(wǎng)上交易所取代。In my industry, editrs wh put ut newspapers the night befre nw marvel at the sight f readers getting news

11、 delivered t cellphnes and tablets.拿我自己的行業(yè)來說，曾經(jīng)只靠紙質(zhì)報紙出版的編輯們，也會被讀者對平板電腦和智能電話來接受新聞信息的依賴性而驚訝。But nt in educatin. ur schls remain the last hldut frm the digital revlutin. The persn wh wke up frm that fifty-year nap wuld find that tdays classrm lks almst eactly the same as it did in the Victrian age: a t

12、eacher standing in frnt f a rmful f kids with nly a tetbk, a blackbard, and a piece f chalk.遺憾的是，教育界不在這個行列內(nèi)。我們的學校仍然是這場科技革命風暴的沒能席卷的最后一個角落。五十年前沉睡然后醒來的那個人，他仍然看到今天的教室和五十年前維多利亞時代一模一樣：一位教師站在一群孩子面前，拿著一本書，后面一塊黑板，和一只粉筆。My friends, what we have here is a clssal failure f imaginatin. Wrse, it is an abdicatin f

13、 ur respnsibility t ur children and grandchildren - and a limitatin n ur future. As Stendhal wrte: Qui secuse, saccuse.在座的朋友們，這是我們一個巨大的失敗。這是我們對下一代甚至下下一代的不負責任，對我們未來的不負責任。就如著名法國作家司湯達說的：Qui secuse, saccuse. (大意是，為自己推卸責任的時候，同時也是在承認自己的失敗)We knw the ld answer - simply thrwing mney at the prblem - desnt wr

14、k. In my wn cuntry, weve dubled ur spending n primary and secndary educatin ver the last three decades - while ur test scres have remained largely flat. The reasn this hasnt wrked is that mre mney has fed a system that is n lnger designed t educate - its becme a jbs prgram fr teachers and administra

15、trs. And yet we Americans wnder why we have cities like Detrit where nearly half the ppulatin cant read and the disadvantaged are n a fast-track t failure.我們都慣于用一些老借口，比如把問題怪到?jīng)]有資金的頭上，這說不通。在我的國家(美國)，我們的小學到高中的教育費用在30年里增加了兩倍，但是學生平均分還是跟30年前一樣。說不通的原因就在于錢用在了一個不是為了教育的教育系統(tǒng)上。這個系統(tǒng)變成了一個老師和管理人員的鐵飯碗，而不是為了教育。但我們美國

16、人還在撓著腦袋想，為什么有很多城市像底特律一樣，一半的人口都不識字。這個問題加速了我們教育上的失敗。The mandarins f medicrity will tell yu that the prblem is that the kids they are teaching are t pr, r cme frm bad families, r are immigrants wh d nt understand the culture. This is abslute rubbish. It is arrgant, elitist and utterly unacceptable.那些碌碌

17、無為的官員只會告訴你問題出在：這些小孩的家庭太窮，沒有家教，或者來自那些不了解美國文化的移民家庭。這根本是屁話!我完全不能接受這樣傲慢自大的精英主義借口。In places such as China and India, they understand that they cant affrd ecuses. When I visit these cuntries, I am amazed by hw much they accmplish with far fewer resurces - and hw eagerly they embrace innvatin. Their spirit

18、 is reflected in the internatinal cmparisns, where many f the tp perfrmers are Asian and many f thse sliding dwn the middle r bttm are frm the industrialized West. The Asian Tigers have the unfair advantage f Tiger Mthers wh see in their children the pwer f ptential, nt the liability f limits.在中國和印度

19、，他們知道他們不能推卸教育的責任。當我探訪這些國家時，我發(fā)現(xiàn)他們在用最少的資源辦最多的事，他們是多么迫切地想把科技帶入教育。這種精神在國際教育上得到了肯定，比較好的證明就是全球成績比較好的學生幾乎都是亞洲學生，比較差的都是西方國家。亞洲虎媽媽們也許沒有占盡優(yōu)勢，但是小亞洲虎崽們卻表現(xiàn)出無限的潛力。(比喻亞洲雖然是發(fā)展中國家，但是人才優(yōu)勢潛力無限。)f curse, yu dnt have t be Asian t succeed. In my wn hmetwn, Ive been impressed by the Harlem Success Academy - a largely Afri

20、can-American charter schl, lcated in ne f the prest cmmunities in America. The neighbrhd surrunding this schl has all the pathlgies that are generally invked t eplain away failure. But at Harlem Success, they set high standards. They test. They insist that parents check hmewrk. They use technlgy, in

21、cluding prviding a Kindle and a laptp fr each student in the higher grades.當然，你不需要做亞洲人才可以成功。在美國我的家鄉(xiāng)，哈林成才特許公立學校給我留下了深刻的印象。一個主要由黑人學生組成的學校，在美國最貧困的區(qū)域。附近的學校都在隨大流，用貧困來解釋學生成績差的原因。但是哈林的成功給他們立了一個比較好的榜樣。他們定時測驗，堅持家長要檢查學生家庭作業(yè)，他們大量使用科技，包括給高年級學生提供一個Kindle電子閱讀器和一個筆記本電腦。And they get results: their students are nw a

22、chieving scres equal t thse attending schls fr the gifted and talented.他們的回報：普遍學生的分數(shù)上升到跟其他學校的天才學生們一樣。re than % f its students scre at the highest level f New Yrks science tests. And the parents knw - thats why they have many mre children trying t get in than they have places fr them.%的學生得到紐約學區(qū)科學類科目的

23、比較高分數(shù)。父母們也很清楚，因為很多父母現(xiàn)在為了子女能夠進這所學校而擠破了頭。That schl shws that yu can build human capital even in etreme circumstances. But lets be blunt: we dnt have nearly enugh schls like Harlem Success. And that represents a tremendus lss f human capital that is almst impssible t recver.這個例子證明了就算在困境中，也可以找到方法去培養(yǎng)人才。讓

24、我們誠實的面對自己，我們沒有足夠的像哈林這樣的學校。這也代表了我們正在流失未來的人才，如果我們錯過了這個時機，我們將沒有回頭路。If we knew we had a gld mine n ur prperty, we wuld d whatever it tk t get that gld ut f the grund. In educatin, by cntrast, we keep the ptential f millins f children buried in the grund. 舉一個例子，如果我們知道我們坐擁一座金礦，我們會想盡一切辦法把這些金子從地底挖出來。但是在教育上，

25、正好相反，我們把千千萬萬孩子的潛力永遠深埋在了地下。Frtunately, we have the means at ur dispsal t transfrm lives. 幸運的是，我們擁有改變這一切的工具。The same digital technlgies that transfrmed every ther aspect f mdern life can transfrm educatin, prvide ur businesses with the talent they need t thrive, and give hundreds f millins f yung pepl

26、e at the fringes f prsperity the pprtunity t make their wn mark n this glbal ecnmy.科技改變了這個時代的方方面面，科技也能一定能改變教育。這樣既能給我們的企業(yè)輸送人才，又能幫助千千萬萬的年輕人在這個全球經(jīng)濟一體的時代里留下他們自己的篇章。This afternn, Id like t ffer just three eamples f hw bringing digital innvatin t the classrm can substantially imprve educatin fr children t

27、hrughut the wrld - including many nw callusly written ff as hpeless.今天，我想給大家?guī)砣蚪逃缛齻€科技改變教育的例子。甚至有一些曾經(jīng)不可能實現(xiàn)的例子。We must begin by eciting the imaginatins f ur yung peple. The key is nt a cmputer r a tablet r sme ther device. The key is the sftware that will engage students and help teach them cncepts

28、and learn t think fr themselves.我們首先要激發(fā)年輕人的想象力。關(guān)鍵不是簡單的只是讓他們?nèi)ナ褂眯碌碾娔X或者平板，而是給學生帶來學習興趣，知識和獨立思考的好軟件。Every study will tell yu that the mre interactive and intimate learning is, the better the student will perfrm.所有的研究都指出，越是直接互動的教學方法，對學生的效果越好。Lets say I was trying t teach a 10-year-ld abut Bernullis princi

29、ple. Its named after the famus 18th-century mathematician. Accrding t this principle, when speed is high, pressure is lw. Sunds pretty dry. But what if I culd link the lessn t the ftball star Rbert Carls - whse famus curved sht is an illustratin f this principle at wrk. And suppse I then included an

30、 eplanatin frm ne f the wrlds leading airplane engineers abut hw this same principle wrks in aviatin.比如說我要教一個10歲小孩柏努利法則。這是起名于一個很有名的18世紀數(shù)學家柏努利的法則。根據(jù)這個法則，當速度高的時候，壓力就會低。聽起來很無聊吧?但是如果我能把這個法則聯(lián)系到以香蕉球著名的足球明星-羅伯特 卡洛斯的時候，這樣就很有趣了吧?(球的一側(cè)高速旋轉(zhuǎn)，造成低氣壓，球就會劃出弧線。)又或者是我再加入一個世界級的飛機工程師對這個法則的解釋，并且舉出這個法則對飛機的飛行有何影響。Sme busi

31、nesses wh are lking ahead are already giving us an idea f what this wuld lk like. In tw small schls in Califrnia, a traditinal tetbk publisher has partnered with Apple t teach algebra. Theyve given the kids free iPads, and theyve created an app that gives students guided instructin, instant feedback

32、 n practice questins, and access t several hundred vides. If students dnt understand the lessn the first time, they can watch that lessn repeatedly until they get it.有些企業(yè)已經(jīng)加入到我們的行列并付諸實際。在加州的兩座規(guī)模較小的學校，一個傳統(tǒng)教科書出版商和蘋果合作提供代數(shù)的課程。孩子們配備有免費的iPad， 并且開發(fā)了一個軟件來指導(dǎo)孩子學習習題的成績也有立馬反饋。除此之外，還有上百個教學視頻可以供孩子們觀看。如果學生們第一次沒有看

33、懂，他們可以重復(fù)看視頻來慢慢理解。Is anyne surprised that the teachers say the students using this new algebra prgram are testing better than thse wh dnt?有沒有人會覺得驚訝這些學生的代數(shù)成績比以前好多了呢?Eciting yung imaginatins leads directly t my secnd pint: mre persnalized learning.聽完這這令人鼓舞興奮的例子，讓我們來看看第二個例子：更個性化的學習方法In media and technlg

34、y, we have learned hw t micr-target audiences - t maimize the stickiness f ur websites, t persnalize ur news feeds. Nw we need t bring these kinds f epertise t educatin - t make mathematics sticky - t micr-target the 8th grade girls wh might want t be physicists, and t persnalize the reading fr each

35、 student.在媒體和科技領(lǐng)域中，我們學會了細分我們的垂直用戶。這樣可以增強我們網(wǎng)站的粘性，個性化我們的News feed(新聞饋送)?，F(xiàn)在我們需要把這些方法運用到教育上。比如讓數(shù)學增加粘性，細分出未來想當物理學家的初二女孩，然后個性化他們的學習方法和過程。If a gifted child can finish a fur-year curse in tw years, shuldnt we encurage her? Likewise, if a struggling child needs mre time, shuldnt we help him t? Unfrtunately f

36、r t many students in t many classrms, its still ne-size- fits-all.如果說一個天才兒童能夠在2年內(nèi)完成4年的課程，我們不是很應(yīng)該鼓勵他嗎?同樣的，如果一個有學習障礙的兒童需要更多時間，我們不是也應(yīng)該幫助他嗎?Ask teachers hw thats wrking ut. Ask them abut the challenge f dealing with 30 kids in a classrm, each f whm is an individual wh ges at his wn pace and has his wn b

37、est way f learning. Right nw mst students are stuck ging ver the same lessn plan in the same way at the same pace. That nly frustrates the kids wh culd d mre advanced wrk - while leaving behind thse wh cant keep up.大家可以去問一問教師們。問問他們教學某個學生遇到的挑戰(zhàn)，每個學生都有他們自己的學習曲線和學習方法。但是現(xiàn)在他們都被放在一起，同一個學習計劃，同一個方學習法，同一個學習曲線

38、。Lets cnsider a student trying t understand fractins. There are many different ways t teach children fractins - all f which wrk fr sme kids, and dnt wrk fr thers. Why shuld we be limited? Why cant we use digital technlgy t give teachers the chice f all f them?再讓我們來想一想一個學生如何學習分數(shù)。教分數(shù)由很多種方法，有一些方法有些小孩能夠

39、接受，但是另外一些未必能。為什么我們要局限教學的方法呢?為什么我們不讓科技來給教師和學生更多的選擇，讓他們接觸每一種方法?Fr eample, fr sme children the best answer will be an nline tutr wh guides them every step f the way. Fr thers, it might be a cartn prduced by the wrlds best animatrs illustrating hw fractins represent parts f a whle. Fr still thers, it cu

40、ld be listening t the natins best math teacher laying ut prblems that the child answers at his wn pace, under the supervisin f a classrm teacher. The key is the ability t analyze where children are in their learning and what they need t mve ahead.舉個例子，對于有些學生來說，比較好的教學方式可能是一個遠程家教手把手地教他們分數(shù)的每一步。對于有些學生，可

41、能是看一個世界上比較好的卡通工作室做出來的教學分數(shù)的卡通影片。還有一些學生，可能是由全國比較好的教師遠程教學，然后再由課堂上的老師幫助。關(guān)鍵在于分析孩子們學會了什么，他們下一步應(yīng)該學什么。We already have ne prgram like this that we put n an iPd. Its been used at schls fr American children n the military base at kinawa. With this prgram, a teacher can instantly diagnse where a child is in his

42、 r her reading - and then prduce a custmized tetbk fr the net ten days. The parent can check it at any time t see hw much his child is learning.iPad上已經(jīng)有了一個這樣的軟件。沖繩島上的美軍子弟學校已經(jīng)在使用這個軟件，教師可以當下知道一個學生閱讀的速度，然后根據(jù)每個人的速度制定十天內(nèi)的閱讀計劃。父母也可以借助這個軟件馬上知道他們的小孩學到了多少東西。I prmise yu, this is nly the beginning. Everywhere

43、else in ur ecnmy, digital is frcing businesses t let their custmers custmize their clthing, their cuisine, their news, and mst anything else they want t buy. My challenge fr everyne in this rm tday is t help us d the same fr a childs educatin.我向你保證，我說的這些只是開始。我們經(jīng)濟的方方面面已經(jīng)在做客制化，科技正在推動著企業(yè)為他們的顧客去客制衣服，餐飲，

44、新聞和任何能想到的商品。而我的挑戰(zhàn)在于我怎么能夠讓在座的各位也幫助我，去為教育做同樣的事情。Finally, with digital we can bring the wrlds greatest thinkers t every student, anywhere in the wrld, at a very lw cst.最后，科技能夠為全世界的學生帶來比較好的講師，但是同時又能節(jié)省開支。utside the classrm, digital has already dne this. Nt s very lng ag, yu had t be rich t hear the best

45、pera r symphny. Nw yu can nw dwnlad the wrlds best recrding f yur favurite Mzart cncert fr abut a dllar. And yu can listen t it as ften as yu want. S if there were ne teacher in Brittany wh came up with the best curse fr teaching French histry, theres n reasn why this curse shuld nt be immediately a

46、vailable t every student anywhere in France - r Vietnam fr that matter.教育界外，其實已經(jīng)有先例了。十幾年前，你要很有錢才能去聽比較好的歌劇或者交響樂。現(xiàn)在，你可以用一美金下載你最喜歡的莫扎特交響樂，想什么時候聽都可以。同理，如果一個布列塔尼(法國一個半島)的老師有一堂很好的法國歷史課程，為什么這個課程不能被世界其他地方的學生分享呢?比如說越南的學生。Cme t think f it, there is n reasn that a student anywhere in the wrld - in Beijing, Bst

47、n, r Berlin - shuld nt have access t the physicist Stephen Hawking eplaining science; the cellist Y-Y Ma eplaining harmny; the histrian Andrew Rberts eplaining Churchill; the Nbel-winning ecnmist Amartya Sen eplaining ecnmics and s n. Alluld be brught int any classrm arund the wrld fr what we nw pay

48、 t dwnlad a sng.想起來，同樣沒有理由為什么世界其他地區(qū)像北京，波士頓，柏林不能讓斯蒂芬霍金(美國著名科學家)來講課呢?為什么不能讓馬友友來講音樂，讓安德魯羅伯茲(歷史學家)來講丘吉爾，讓阿馬蒂亞森(經(jīng)濟學家)講經(jīng)濟。 我們可以把這些人帶到同一個教室，學生們也只用出我們現(xiàn)在下載一首音樂的錢， 一美金。I knw the critics say that if yu intrduce technlgy t the classrm, yu are simply replacing teachers with cmputers and blackbards with screens.

49、But the critics are wrng.我知道一定會有反對意見說，如果你把這樣的科技帶進教室，你就是用電腦在取代教師。這些反對意見是錯的。Technlgy will never replace the teacher. What we can d is relieve sme f the drudgery f teaching. And we can take advantage f the increasingly sphisticated analytics that will help teachers spend mre time n the things that make

50、 us all mre human and mre creative.科技永遠不能取代教師。我們所做的是減輕教師的負擔，同時可以利用科技為我們來做教育的深入分析，讓教師把時間用在啟發(fā)學生的創(chuàng)造性和人性上。Let me be clear. What I am speaking abut is nt the utline f sme etic, distant, fictinal future. Everything I have mentined is smething I have seen in the here and nw:讓我再次澄清一點，我說的例子不是一個遙不可及的未來。我說的例子就

51、發(fā)生在現(xiàn)在。In Krea, I was astnished t learn that a vibrant, $30 billin cnsumer market fr after-schl educatin has transfrmed utstanding teachers int natinal celebrities - with sme cmmanding the same salaries as sprts heres and film stars.在韓國，我親眼看到了一個補習經(jīng)濟把優(yōu)秀老師打造成明星的奇跡。有些老師甚至拿著運動明星和影星的薪水。In Sweden, I visite

52、d an innvative schl knwn as the IKEA schl. Learning is supprted by a knwledge prtal that cntains the entire syllabus. In this schl, learning fits the individual students pace and interests - and the teachers give students plenty f individual attentin. This schl is pssible because f a system that enc

53、urages cmpetitin by letting parents use public mney t chse what schls they think wrk best fr their children. That includes schls that are privately-run and fr-prfit.在瑞典，我參觀了一間“宜家”學校，教學大綱就像宜家的家具一樣放在網(wǎng)上讓學生自由選擇組合。這樣教師就有更多的時間來給需要的學生更多的幫助。這間學校的建成，得益于一個很好的教學基金系統(tǒng)來激化學校之間的競爭。這個系統(tǒng)讓父母可以有一定數(shù)額的虛擬基金，他們可以選擇他們信任的學校來投入虛擬基金，然后國家會對這個學校進行資金投入。他們選擇的學校可以是公立的，也可以是私立的。Back in my wn hmetwn, I visited the Schl f ne. Like Ggle, this New Yrk schl is pwered by an algrithm. Every day, it figures ut what each individual needs t learn net and hw
