Been awhile since I last wrote. Updated the theme, and recommitting myself to the blog.
Been thinking a lot lately about how education can be moved forward. Seeing a lot of discussion in both corporate and the higher education realms about games, simulations, and other technological approaches (Have you learned in Second Life?)
I think that the move to use more technology is great. I think there are probably lots of great things that can be done in these environments. What I worry about is the pendulum swinging to far to one direction. The technology is cool, it can do a lot- but it can’t be the whole solution. Its an important part that can provide great opportunities for learning- but it really can’t fill every need every time.
I’ll keep it short tonight. Couple things to write about in the future: What I’m reading and have read (currently Wikinomics, just finished Black Swan, going to reread Tipping Point), the collaborative role of instructional development (between the designer, instructor, and learner), and much, much more!
