Thing 7c: Am I teaching my students to learn?

by   Posted on July 28, 2008 in Uncategorized  and tagged , , ,

I have been following the blogs at techlearning.com. The last one I read was posted by none other than Vicki Davis, one of my main heroes in this Web 2.0 adventure. Her post is in response to a recent Google article “Our Googley advice to students: Major in learning.”  According to Vicki, Johnathan Rosenberg, Sr. VP, Product Management at Google, suggests that we should be graduating students who are focusing on: analytical thinking, communication skills, a willingness to experiment, being a team player, and becoming passionate leaders. He suggests that the challenge for students goes well beyond graduation, so we should make sure they know that. “Learning, it turns out, is a lifelong major.”

  1. I should be reading about them too. It had been long since I was looking for someone worth of a catch. And besides I love to read, it takes me to places I’ve never been!
