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

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…

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.
