The evolution of the education system is intrinsically linked to changes in other areas of daily life. In the same way that we live in a society in which speed and, in many cases, immediacy have taken over our time, the school was unable to escape this voracious inertia.

Learning through experience has given way to education at the desk in which finding the correct answer has become the basis of knowledge. Education technologies as a search tool have come to encompass a large part of that very necessary time precisely as a way to learn to learn, to observe reality firsthand, teamwork, fostering relationships with others or breaking free from the walls that surround classroom education.

Maybe it is time to start taking steps toward an education whose speed is adjusted to each moment and each individual. Varying the rates of learning as far as possible, to let the activities define the time required to perform them and not the opposite, to give the students time to create or imagine, in short, to try to enjoy this learning.
