Although he ...You just inspired me to buy Linchpin!<br />Although he didn't inspire me to start blogging (4 years ago), Seth Godin was one of the first people I put into my RSS Reader.<br /><br />I love your point about kids being disengaged with what Clay Burell calls 'schooliness' even <i>"Before Apple invented the i-pod. Before MySpace, Friendster and Facebook. Before social networking. Before Xbox, Wii, World of Warcraft. Before cell phones with apps and wireless everything."</i><br /><br />I made a comment on my own blog recently that:<br /><i>I have a hard time seeing technology today as ‘creating more lazy students’ because I don’t see many students today that are more lazy than I was. I was a disengaged, often bored, student. Does technology create a distraction… YES, a huge distraction that can be hard to compete with....</i><br /><br />But it's not the distractions that are the problem, it's that school-as-it-is-designed invites distraction. It just isn't compelling enough!<br /><br />This is a great call to action for the people who have the most to gain and the most power to make a difference... EDUCATORS!<br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration!<br />~Dave,David Trusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00519890493979141068noreply@blogger.com
