Blog Post #9
This is very damning to the dominate education establishment. But it is also right on target. The establishment better get with the program, or they will be no longer needed. Information is readily available in an instant on any subject. The days of "selling" this information and providing a pay check for it, are rapidly approaching their end date. Sadly, I am postulating the establishment will have to be drug kicking and screaming into the new realm of technological education. They will be forced back to the basics of "how" to educate, not "what" to educate. Or they will become obsolete. Is that not how it all started in the first Universities? Students gathered and exchanged ideas, and learned how to think. Now, all you do, even (especially ?) at the college level, is regurgitate the supplied information on a standardized test, and promptly forget it. Can someone please explain to me why this system cost so much?

The screaming and kicking may prevent the dragging. But let's give it a try!
ReplyDeleteMy "canned" comment for this post:
I decided that we all need a slight bit of a "holiday" for the 4th. So you got to skip C4C Number 9; my associates got to skip comments on your post due 7/5 (Bayda, ALEX AND ACCESS); and I am doing this "group" comment for everyone who posted on time or by the "corrected” date (tonight at midnight) which means that if you get this message you were recorded as having submitted your post on time. I thought that your posts on Morgan Bayda's blog were good. Some were especially interesting and generated a personal email from me.
We are moving into the final two weeks of the term. Only one more full week exists before the week in which your final project is due. It should be a significant project that demonstrates many of the tools you have learned to use and skills you have acquired in EDM310. It must be collaborative. If you have any questions about this project we should discuss them in lab tomorrow (Thursday July 8, 2010). There are only 12 days left in which to complete your final projects!
