What future for education?

This is my first writing in English. I´m doing the course What future for education, at Coursera, and my first task is reflect about my experience as learner.
A successful experience about learning:
Six years ago, I participate in a course called Training for trainers. It was wonderful, because it change my thoughts about education and my practice too. Every new contend was introduced by a play in witch we can see our behavior in a certain situation and after that we can reflect about it.  It was very pleasant and efficient. The facilitators were great, cause they are both professional and friendly.
A unsuccessful experience about learning:
Every class that I have to decorate a contend without criticism or real understanding was unsuccessful. I learned only before a test, and forget everything after that. Biology or Chemistry, for example, was useless. Nowadays I see that this classes should be a lot more interesting if the teacher simply ask the students what are we interested in.
