Fascinating position by Murdoch...and like much of the commentary on the orginal article, I am a bit wary of what his investment in changes in "schooling" might be....
Nonetheless, the argument he puts forth is a a valid one. And, he doesn't need to invoke Steve Jobs to make his point. There is some serious truth in the following claim: "You don't get change by plugging in computers to schools designed for the industrial age. You get it by deploying technology that rewrites the rules of the game." Yes, indeed!
It will continue to be an opportunity for all of you, the future faculty, to shift our T&L practices into better learning outcomes for this new century. I hope that task is at least as exciting in any given moment as it is (potentially) burdensome for all of you.
