조민호교수 한국판 뉴딜 (K-New Deal Project) 토론프로그램 패널로 참석
Prof. Minho Jo was invited as a panel of Talk Show "The Korean New Deal Project (K-New Deal)" of Busan KNN (Busan SBS) TV on January 4, 2021.
The topics of the talk show include K-New Deal (Digital New Deal Project, Green New Deal Project, Stronger Safety Net Project, and Balanced Regional Development New Deal Project. 디지털뉴딜, 그린뉴딜, 사회안전망, 지역균형발전뉴딜.)
Prof. Jo talked about the digital new deal project. The talk show will help you understand the K-New Deal.
Korean New Deal Project (K-New Deal): National Strategy for a Great Transformation to share a national development strategy to support the country’s recovery from the pandemic crisis and lead the global action against structural changes with the international community.
"K-New Deal" echoes the term used by U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt for the programs to pull his country out of the Great Depression in the 1930s.

조민호교수 출연 EBS 방송 대토론 "4차산업혁명, 무엇을 준비해야 하나"
조민호 교수님께서 2017년 6월 16일 (금요일)에 생방송으로 진행된 EBS방송 대토론 프로그램 "4차산업혁명, 무엇을 준비해야 하나"에 토론자로 참석을 하였습니다.
(조민호 교수) "주변에서 가장 많이 하는 질문이, "그래서 우리 4차산업혁명시대를 어떻게 준비해야 하나요?"였습니다. 특히 기업체와 학부모들께서 가장 혼란스러워 하고 준비하는데 가이드라인이 없으니 힘들어하는듯 보였습니다.
저 토론은 4차산업혁명에 대한 종합적인 이해와 예상되는 변화에 대해서 이야기한 것이고 향후 부분별로 심층적으로 4차산업혁명시대를 어떻게 준비해야할지에 대해서 심층적인 토론이나 설명들이 필요하다고 봅니다."

Prof. Jo Giving an Invited Talk "The 4th Industrial Revolution and Convergence Education"
Prof. Minho Jo, the Chief of IoTCoN Lab delivered an invited talk in an NGO, the Slow School, entitled "The 4th Industrial Revolution and Convergence Education" on April 8, 2017. The audience was parents, teachers, and middle/high schools students.
조민호 교수(IoTCoN 연구실 총괄책임교수)께서 2017년 4월 8일에 [사단법인 느림보학교]의 초청으로 "4차산업혁명과 융합교육의 중요성" 에 대해서 강연을 하였다. 최근 4차산업혁명의 열기로 많은 학부모들과 선생님들이 참석을 하였다. IoT세상이 열리는 4차산업혁명 시대엔 기존의 직업종류 약 70%가 사라질 것으로 예측이 된다. 현행 중고등학교 교육 방법이나 현행 입시제도 하에선 4차산업혁명 시대에 적합한 창의성 교육을 하기엔 맞지가 않다는 것을 강조 하였다. 그렇다면 어떻게 바꿔야 하는가에 대해서도 이야기를 하였다. 그리고 왜 4차산업혁명은 융합이 필요하고 그것들을 위해선 왜 창의성이 풍부한 인재가 적합한가에 대해서도 이야기를 하였다.
일부 학부모님들께서는 중고등학생 자녀, 심지어는 초등학생 자녀와 함께 참석하여서 새로운 물결인 4차산업혁명을 이해시키주려 하였다. 한국이 반도체, 무선통신, LCD, 자동차, 조선 등에선 세계적 탑 클래스에 올랐지만 정작 독창적인 세계적인 리딩 기술은 별로 없다는 것이 우리의 문제 이다. 일본과 독일은 발 빠르게 4차산업혁명에 올인을 하고 있다. 우리도 올인을 해야하고 교육시스템/내용이나 입시제도 등을 혁신적으로 바꾸지 않으면 계속해서 뒤쳐질 상황에 놓여 있을 것이다.
