 | Thinking Outside the Blob Sep 15, 2006 |
Although Judy Breck might call it thinking outside the "blob" instead of the box, her book offers avenues for those of us seeking ways out of the failing traditional education system. Ms. Breck's book is part social analysis, part technical explanation, part future scope, and a great deal of data-driven exhortation to leave behind this broken system. She offers sound foundational synthesis of how the Internet is evolving to open truly viable avenues far beyond our state's antiquated models of education. She solidly demonstrates the superiority of these avenues and offers ways to nurture their evolution.
Ms. Breck's work provides a great starting point for those fed up with the factory school model. Whether a front line educator looking for ways around your school's problems, a think tank member tasked with solving the country's educational woes, a parent fed up with the service your child gets seven hours a day at the local educational warehouse, or someone interested in exploring creative and alternative resources for home schooling, this book clearly illustrates the path education in our increasingly interconnected world should take in order to meet the needs of every student at every level and prepare them all to enter modern day society.
K. Webb, Public High School Educator | | | | An Eye-opening Book Mar 16, 2006 |
Speaking as a staunch techno-phobe, this book was a pleasant surprise: fascinating, profound and fun to read all at the same time. Judy Breck is a deep thinker who has brought her vast and colorful experience to bear on the writing of her book, inspiring the reader to embrace a broader meaning of technology. Not content to preach to the choir, Judy reaches out to the technically challenged as well as the technically savvy, sharing her vision of the Internet as a kind of educational cosmos. The book's clever web-like layout models the kind of open learning environment for which Judy is a spokesman. If a book has the potential to depolarize our computer-geek/computer-allergic society, this is it!
