What should edtech developers be trying to focus on? Connecting people with common interests. They will naturally specialize based on their own interests rather than forcing them first to conform to a set of standards dictated from a top down approach. So rather than first expecting everyone to think the same way and then later on ask them to pick a specialization, let them ask the questions they are naturally curious about and allow general knowledge filter in more organically. As globalization continues, it becomes ever more important that we have a population filled with individuals, capable of cultivating their own perspectives and approaches to the problems that stimulate their imaginations.
