Stop Stealing Dreams

-By Mike DeBritz on Wednesday, March 21, 2012

Best selling author and world class speaker Seth Godin recently published a 30,000 word manifesto designed to start a discussion on the future of education.  The idea came from one question frequently asked by his readers, “What do you think we ought to do about education?”  

His answer is a fascinating read and a theme Seth has touched on before in his other books, most notably Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?   He’s taken a different approach this time; instead of publishing a book, his manifesto is totally free and available in every conceivable electronic format to enable maximum sharing.

Enjoy!

Educational Reform Illustrated

-By Mike DeBritz on Wednesday, November 23, 2011

I'm certain many people have heard of Sir Ken Robinson and his famous TED talks.

I'm less certain about how many people have seen his ideas detailed on a whiteboard.  His talks are interesting and thought provoking to begin with but after watching this video a couple times I started to "see" his ideas differently and understand his thesis on an entirely different level. 

I think many after school providers know exactly what he means when he talks about where kids are today. 

Take a look and tell me what you think.

Happy Thanksgiving!
