An excellent illustration of why heavily academic preschools are misguided. Little kids learn academic and social skills best when they play. Baking bread, for instance, is an excellent way to learn foundational math, reading, and science. And teamwork! npr.org/sections/goats…

Dead. On. In the new world of work, it will be more efficient for companies grow high-skilled talent themselves or leverage skills from a loosely-coupled network. This is an inevitable outcome of analytics+cheap content+war for talent butting up against intractable #highered

“Tech companies hire people for their skills, whether they got those skills at a community college, a computer boot camp or a four-year college.” And it feels good, too! But skills are broader than coding—diligence, agility, tact, empathy, resilience. So, yeah, #apprenticeship

Bump for remote learning. The energy around MOOCs and online courses ignores the fact that isolation is hard and disengaging, especially when the content is challenging. But, like work, remote learning can be done really well. #learningengineer #highered bostonglobe.com/business/2019/…

This is the true power of #edtech. So many “innovations” are tech for tech’s sake, which solve nothing and cost more. It’s wonderful to see simple, cheap solution like nudge tech that actually solves problems.

Imagine a world where a school could follow the student instead of the student attending a school, where today’s learning curriculum and grading system is replaced by students advancing in their learning by solving real-life problems... su.org/blog/singulari… Singularity

Online providers are beginning to realize that learning is a social activity and that human interaction attracts and retains students. Few things can be truly learned without others and hard things—like learning—require a support system. #learningengineer edsurge.com/news/2019-08-0…

This is why it makes no sense for preschools to teach decoding—letter-sound correspondence. The time would be much better spent learning about the world via books, videos, imaginative play, cooking, gardening, and field trips galore. Do this so they’ll decode and comprehend later

Powerful, powerful ⁦WIRED⁩ compilation of stories from the day that changed everything. I remember everything just moving so fast on March 11, I just couldn’t keep up. This article slowed everything down, blew it up, and wrenched my gut. I remember. apple.news/Abjlq9rmSTIGhf…

Firms face competitive extinction unless they invest in real LEARNING experiences for their current and prospective employees. Social influence, cognitive and emotional agility, and critical thinking can’t be mastered through MOOCs or a week of training. weforum.org/agenda/2020/10…

As COVID19 surges across the US, it’s hard to describe the situation inside hospitals for healthcare providers & patients. We made this video depicting 1 day in the ER to show the painful reality & to remind us why we must remain vigilant. Please watch.

Here's a clip from the short film "Don't Be a Sucker" that I think everyone should watch. This was made in the 1940s by the United States government to educate people about prejudice and discrimination.
