A New Culture of Learning

A short one, which I was able to listen to on the way to JSConf. I felt as though it only goes skin deep into the problems facing education – reiterating issues I've heard discussed many times before. The group education concept and self directed learning this one promotes are clearly useful, but falls short of showing how it might help reframe our current systems.

Interesting ideas in here! Most I agree with: collaborative, project-based, inquiry learning... learning in the “gaps” where the content is not explicitly taught... no mention of online privacy or how to stay safe online though, which is an important tool our kids need to know.
