Eclectic Technology

"The communication explosion reaches its peak when you explore the endless avenues running through TED Talks. Moreover, the title educator embodies many forms within these talks.

So it’s precisely for this reason that any educator benefits from so many of these talks. Each speaker reveals his or her passion of a view or a subject with the enthusiasm of a first-year teacher."

Through a combination of text, videos and images Ira Socol explores the issue of how we might envision a world that moves beyond textbooks, asking "are there better way to do things than textbooks, like free ways for teachers, or better, students to assemble information. And these should be allowing us to fundamentally consider new ways to assembel infomation, rahter than a pre-cooked, pre-arranged text." Ira Socol posts always challenge me to think, to scratch my brain...perhaps he will do the same for you.
