Hi When has the world ever NOT been changing?
Should change be evolutionary or revolutionary? Anyone see any differences between how we were taught and how we teach? Thirty or so years ago the “Plato” system was going to revolutionize education … how did that work out? What makes this college-drop-out, no matter how entertaining, an expert on education? Lots of other questions. Take care Jim From: MiguelRoig [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: September-07-13 2:22 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: [tips] Education isn't about teaching facts (yes, we know) I recently saw college drop-out Dan Brown's video at a conference and the audience seemed divided as to the usefulness of his rather convincing message that we need to change institutional education: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P2PGGeTOA4. He ends by saying "the world is changing, and if you don't change with it, the world will decide that it doesn't need you" and as the MOOC revolution is taking hold, one begins to wonder.
