A Lot to Chew On ....
A Difference,
May 19, 2005
Good post summarizing a presentation by Alan November (he has a blog, but it is infrequently updated - it doesn't even contain his own presentation). Part of what November says makes sense. "Kids have to learn how to think globally, to manage massive amounts of information and they have to be self-directed in their learning." But in places its a narrow view. As Kuropatwa comments, "Your $400US gets you 3 years of enriched schooling online, 24/7 whenever you want it. Alan said most kids work their way through this curriculum in 6 months! This isn't fair! Education isn't just for the rich!" Quite right.
