Edu Philosophy: When Ok is not Good Enough
I spent the last 2 days working with Tom Welch concerning 21st century learning and curriculum continuums. While my brain is flying, he shared various helpful videos when thinking about why education must change. It's not OK to be mediators of information any longer. So, with that in mind, I wanted to ask this essential question posed by Tom Welch (@twelchky on Twitter): What year is it? Think about this question and what it means for student learning after watching the three videos below. Feel free to comment to this question in the comments section below!

These videos were very thought-provoking. "What year is it?" In the world of education, we've been stuck in a 1940s approach to "teaching." Countless instructional programs have come and gone while educational philosophies have cycled and recycled, but the basic paradigm has remained unchanged. I liked Tom's idea that reform hasn't worked. It's time to invent something new where learning is actually the main thing, not teaching.
