Abstract: How to use technology to unlock future education and learning? How to use the network to upgrade the current education system for digital natives to move from the original Project-Based Program to the current Challenge-Based Program? This is the future education topic that the academic circles of Chinese and American are concerned about. By comparing the historical traces and the actual dilemmas of education reform between China and America, it is found that the main reasons for the different forms of education reform between the two countries are culture and policy systems, but even so, the social and educational concerns of the two countries are changing from “teaching” to “learning”, education reform is becoming more and more dependent on people. Future education will develop towards educational ecosystem, integrated educational resources inside and outside the school, and constructing multi-learning centers. Constantly improving modern learning content and finding the best learning effect points is of great significance to promoting the development of future education and learning in China.

Key words: technical unlocking, network upgrading, comparison between China and America, future education, future learning
