We can't be too strict when we want people to learn, but we don't want things to be too loose to the point that the student is just spoonfed the information he needs to learn.

It is trying to get people to buy stuff.<br /><br />Learning is not something that comes in a kit or arrives when you download an app. It is social (see Richard Beach's "literacy practices framework") and demands human investment. Students can smell when it's anything else and bad smells make them turn away. <br /><br />Your conversations with Audrey Waters is one of the most important ones in education today. They are so thoughtful and concise and they give words to the values I try and impart to my English Education majors. <br /><br />Todd FinleyTodd Finleyhttp://www.eeprof.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676377.post-88691078865312625032012-10-11T15:25:01.576-04:002012-10-11T15:25:01.576-04:00Thanks, Jay.

I look forward to listening through your conversation with Audrey.<br /><br />The good news is that I think a good-sized fraction of education entrepreneurs are in the business for something besides just "winning big." I think most of us genuinely do want to help create richer, more meaningful learning experiences. The points you've shared here are a good reminder for the "true believers" that ensuring the financial success of an educational program or product is not necessarily the same as ensuring that a program or product will contribute to a better society.jayabostwickhttp://jayabostwick.comnoreply@blogger.com
