Seth Godin Discusses His Book Linchpin and Implications for Education, Live May 5th

I'll be interviewing Seth Godin live in Elluminate next week about his newest book, Linchpin:  Are You Indispensable?, and the implications for education.

Aside from reading the book, you might want to check out:

• His blog post today, "The coming melt-down in higher education (as seen by a marketer)"
• His blog post from 18 months ago, "Education at the crossroads"
• His blog post from 15 months ago, "What is school for?"
• His blog post from 2 months ago, "It's easier to teach compliance than initiative"
• A 4.5 minute audio clip on education from an interview with Seth by Lee Stranahan
