Missing the Point on Cortines
Posted on | July 30, 2010 | Comments Off on Missing the Point on Cortines
The Los Angeles Times editorial about Ray Cortines missed the point big time. I’ve written a Huffington Post piece that I think gets things into the right perspective. Comments welcome here or on especially on the Huff Post site.
Meanwhile, happy to be back from vacation. Many thanks to Kamil and Meral Ozerk for their hospitality and to the whole world for putting on the Cup, which we watched almost nightly while away.

Learning 2.0
Learning 2.0 is the next full scale version of public education, one that builds on the capacity of the Internet age.
The five elements of Learning 2.0 are explained by clicking HERE:
- Mixing acquisition of knowledge and practice, head and hands.
- An individual education plan for everyone.
- Understanding that students are the real workers in the education system.
- Unbundle teaching, testing, and mentoring.
- Add collaboration and solving tough, ambiguous problems to the list of basic skills.
