Learning 2.0... Learning 3.0... and so on
Good and funny post by Jay Cross on the faddish term "Learning 2.0" that flying around. My favorite paragraph...

Geez, before you know it Gartner would be selling magic quadrants for Learning 3.0 providers. Accenture would outsource only to Learning 4.0-qualified suppliers. IBM would counter with on-demand Learning 5.0 (Now, with services!). Elliott would host special events on Learning 6.0. Josh would sell reports on Learning 7.0 (You can blend 5.0, 6.0, & 7.0!). And I would still be ranting that this emperor has no clothes.

Designing Schools for Digital Natives
Compelling article by former teacher, Jim Craign.

All of us can remember falling asleep during a history lecture, doodling during algebra or hiding in French class to avoid being called on. School was, at times, boring.

Today, multiply this experience by a thousand. The fact is, more and more bright, otherwise motivated, talented kids are becoming disengaged by the old-fashioned school process.

New Edward Tufte Book
