In my search for a comprehensive visioning for our Information Literacy program - This video hits it in a positive active way. Thanks. I just joined youtube, just so I could try to make contact. Is it ok to use this video at an administrative meeting in our school district? It is so much better than what I could create right now!

Thanks for a terrific, thought-provoking video. I just shared it at a faculty meeting and feedback was that they all want to see it again! Now we need to share it with our school board to get them to see the light.

"Education is about adapting to a changing world" (?) No. Education is about understanding change and (re)orienting it towards better living and a better world for all. The " rapidly changing world" we are experiencing is widening the gap between the rich and the poor, the North and the South, the included and the not included. Education, more than ever, must continue being a tool for personal and social transformation rather than adaptation.

The concept of public education is strategically flawed. This video accidentally admits as much when contrasting the vast progress of privately developed technology with the embarrassing lack of progress in public schools. No vast improvement will happen until we the consumer of education have the choice of where to spend our money. School choice is the right strategy.

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. - Sun Tzu

Great video! In a world where we can't predict what what will come next, people need to become life long learners - and teachers need to make changes in the classroom to prepare their students for this. You might like to check out our video "The Global Transformation in Education."
