Education at the crossroads

Education at the crossroads via Seth Godin

Actually, there isn't one, there are three choices that anyone offering higher education is going to have to make.

Should this be scarce or abundant?

MIT and Stanford are starting to make classes available for free online. The marginal cost of this is pretty close to zero, so it's easy for them to share. Abundant education is easy to access and offers motivated individuals a chance to learn.… Continue

El Docente

This post is in Spanish
En el 2009 la escuela está como la fábrica de Ford en 1910. Ford decía: “Usted puede elegir el color de coche que quiera siempre que sea negro”. En la escuela pasa lo mismo. Va un docente y les da lo mismo a todos. Pero los chicos son todos distintos y ahora son muchísimo más distintos que antes porque tienen más estímulos, más consumos culturales, más ofertas. Siempre hablamos, obviamente, de la clase media/media alta. Los chicos pobres tienen una problemática que hay qu… Continue

Thinking on Music and Seniors

The other day I found in Youtube a video that gave me the idea why we cannot use the "universal magic" of music to bring together our seniors singing a song. I know there are plenty of examples if you Google for music and seniors, but this video shows a way that we could do it in an easy way. A common project to socialize using the power of web 2.0 tools.

Brian Solis of FutureWorks & PR 2.0: It's not the technology but the sociology that's changing

Brian Solis believes that communications technology is going to fundamentally change how we communicate with each other, with family, friends, and business associates. Although people have not yet begun to see the true ramifications of actually what they're doing with each update, which is to change how we share information and how people are getting information, and in turn, re-sharing it.

How do we move in the Social Media

Sometimes we think is chaos so many networks, so much time just to manage it but a whole world of possibilities.
Sometimes we think is impossible but thinking on one of the Mottos of May 68, "Be reasonable, ask the impossible" here is a video to you show the beauty of the chaos.
