In the quest to grab the attention of a digital generation and prepare them to be entrepreneurs and social activists we need a new set of tools. The stand and deliver, memorization, trivial pursuit, drill and kill, test driven, standards based approach to education will not lead to the creative generation that our future depends on. Time to think different, break the mold, think out of the box.

A Thought "Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world."
Paulo Freire
Pedagogy of the OppressedSite of the Week StoryCorps is an independent nonprofit project whose mission is to honor and celebrate one another’s lives through listening.
Since 2003, tens of thousands of everyday people have interviewed family and friends through StoryCorps. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to take home and share, and is archived for generations to come at the Library of Congress. |
