One is the need to educate millions more people. The other is to educate people better. Both of those are desperately needed. Which is more important? That's an interesting question. I think technology gives us a chance to solve some of the first problem. I'm not sure how much technology helps us solve the second problem. At present, I don't think we are doing either one of these very well. Which would be better -- to do an A+ job of educating 10,000 people or a C+ job of educating 1,000,000 people. I can easily say "let's do both" but in truth, with technology, I'm not sure it's not a more achievable goal to educate 1,000,000 at the C+ level. Where should teachers (like me and you) put our resources?

And advances in brain research continue to confirm what good educators already know about the role of motivation, prior knowledge, meaning, problem solving, etc. The kind of learning they are talking about is like learning the new software system available for your computer this week in the Office Suite! But I would call that training and not deep learning. I DO believe big change is afoot in higher education, and I am really fearful that short-sighted people think this is all there is to it! Get the word out, Joe. We have so much more to talk about.

Educators...I believe that we are already here too. Educators who see themselves as transmitters of information have already been replaced by various media forms. Only educators who understand and embrace their roles as people developers, even now, truly bring value added.Steve Markoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01134550512022299593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313214416063794063.post-45369215260735177382012-08-13T06:29:53.975-07:002012-08-13T06:29:53.975-07:00I think that the future is here.

If employers are really after skills, and skills can be acquired for free outside of the traditional classroom, that it's only a matter of time before students circumvent the $100k in tuition bills.FrugalProfessorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06256777547769911816noreply@blogger.com
