How education will change
“this ‘telephone’ has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication.”
-Western Union internal memo, 1876
“the wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular?”
-an investor in response to David Sarnoff’s push for radio in 1920
“while theoretically and technically television may be feasible, commercially and financially it is an impossibility.”
-Lee De Forest, radio pioneer, 1926

education is going global
when it comes to carrots or sticks, sticks only de-motivate
it’s the age of non-linear learning
why are we still using textbooks?
if you want anyone to listen you have to grab their
attention
we don’t need teachers, we need leaders.
Anything worth memorizing is worth looking up.
education is going to change no matter what…
you can either be ahead of the curve or behind the curve.
The choice is yours.
do impossible
things.
