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

July 28th, 2008 by Barbara Perkins

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.”
