Talk of the Nation Recap with Don Tapscott: Reforming Higher Ed to Meet Digital Age
Yesterday, Don Tapscott, Author of Macrowikinomics joined Talk of the Nation on NPR to discuss the need to reform our higher education institutions to reflect our 21st century world and meet the needs of the new digital age.
Tapscott believes this reform can only take place if professors and institutions are willing to change the pedagogy and create more interactive, collaborative environments for students.
Professors have different teaching styles and resources, but why? It seems our higher educational system is creating silos instead of helping empower the entire industry as a whole. One way of breaking these silos, Tapscott suggests, is by having a global network for higher learning.

Don’t get an SUI (socializing under the influence) this summer!
School is out for the summer which usually means lots of BBQs, swimming, and late fun nights. I am a big supporter of students taking advantage of the summer break and cutting loose. Classes can be very stressful and having a break for a few months was always a chance for me to cut loose and relax.
