I am one of 237 authors who contributed to the book ‘Age of Conversation 2‘. For the first 237 days of 2009, I’ll be highlighting a phrase from one of my co-authors, briefly discussing their contribution, and linking you to their blog or online presence. I’m sure you’ll find these excerpts reason enough to add the full publication to your bookshelf – and all proceeds go to charity.

“Thus during times of disruption, such as the one the advertising industry is currently undergoing, students are still being taught the “old” framework, which becomes a burden as they attempt to impose antiquated processes on new, incompatible environments. I mean they just spent $200k and four years to be prepared for the workforce, are you going to tell them it was a waste of time?”

Seni’s point here in a chapter entitled ‘The Educational Paradox During Paradigm Shifts‘ is that if the world of education look to the past, and regurgitates what worked before to “prepare” students for what is come, then it is likely to fail — dynamic learning, rather than reactive learning, needs to be used.
