There is a lot of discussion about the problems with our education system. And that we are still molding students to be cogs in a wheel and to not think for themselves. Watch this video featuring Tom Peters:
But the purpose of this post isn’t to rail on our education system, but to get you to think about your OWN learning and education.
I don’t have to tell you there is a wealth of information available for us to soak in. And there are an ever growing array of tools and technology that make it easier for us to digest it.
I am just asking to do something about it. Don’t follow the expected norms of what most folks are doing. Use the social web – and craft a learning strategy that excites you, and teaches you, and most importantly, challenges you!
1. Ask questions on Twitter. People WILL answer and give you their opinion.
2. Use your RSS reader to accumulate all kinds of data and information. The world is your oyster.
3. YouTube, and other platforms, are so choc full of valuable and amazing learning, you could literally spend every waking moment learning stuff in those venues.
Decide today to craft your own MBA and life learning. Be creative. Never stop.
