Woah! Took another little break, sorry, it’s summer, but we’re back and talkin’ education in the age of Google. Do not fear … it’s mostly light hearted … this is not a deep dive into the politics of education (although we might approach the cliff a few times).
We hit it all: statistics, media literacy, history, philosophy, Khan Academy, partial credit, science eating its own tail, and the value of answering a question with a question…
Teaching all subjects at once seems crazy. We need to stagger topics in ways that make more sense as we grow and experience the world. History, for instance, is wildly valuable, fantastically interesting, and incredibly important, but 12 year olds simply don’t have the life experience to care or understand (for the most part).
An examination of the What we teach, When we teach it, and Why it’s taught are hugely important right now. Tough to have that conversation and make those changes, however, in a very-much standardized global education system.
