Putting Learning First
Lectures as an outmoded form of education and news
Jeff Jarvis’ TEDxNYED lecture about lectures as an outmoded form of education and news.
Please note there are three instances where Jeff uses foul language for effect (I wish he wouldn’t) so please review the video before you pass it on to anyone else.
Please Note: I am not endorsing Jarvis’ use of foul language and thought about not putting the video up–BUT the message he is relaying is very important–important enough to deal with his use of expletives.

Lets hope that we see these sorts of innovations sooner than later.

I found it particularly interesting that I have actually owned or used many of these technologies (no I wasn’t on Sputnik or any other spaceflight). Perhaps this confirms my role as a bleeding edge early adopter.
