in An Education Is... on Angela Maiers Educational Svcs
An education is a gift that keeps on giving us a sense that we are always a work-in-progress. We get a real education when we learn:
how to learn new questions and insights from everything that happens to us
how to take upsets as lessons that show us something we don't already know
how to change our minds when things are not working out as planned
how to take responsibility for our effect on people, situations and our own bodies

in Are We Numbed to Change? on All Things Workplace
Lately, I've been exploring the difference between outsider and insider perspectives. I think Peter nailed the insider perspective with how change feels to most like work, gets managed by keeping it at a high altitude and is something we want someone else to do. We outsiders are passionate about change, reading widely and identifying models that make change easier for others. Change goes on an insider's to-do list or items to discuss in the next annual review. Change is the mission statement, value proposition and deliverables for us outsiders.
Perhaps you're getting told that "talk of change" is going to be a tough sell to the "management fad du jour" niche market. In that case, your value proposition will be the next thing to change. Then your expertise with change becomes the means to some other end, elusive result or desired outcome in the eyes of your customers. then you're selling what they get from changing and how changing with your expertise is faster, better, cheaper or more useful somehow.

in Declutter your office or you will get fat on Janet Clarey, Brandon Hall Research
Janet: Thanks for the mention! I see that correlation a lot -- between mental clutter and physical messes - with those entrepreneurs I mentor. During intervals where one's focus is clear and tasks are scheduled, the workspace gets tidy. My proteges are now understanding how their state of mind offers a vibration that attracts motivations, happenstance and circumstance.

Thanks for the glimpse at some real, live dinosaurs! It does seem like a news piece from 2002 to me too.
NPR is making it sound like a newsworthy breakthrough:
-- for student participation to be more immersive than doing seat time in classrooms. Just wait until online games and chat rooms get invented!
-- for the quality of student comments to get better when they are written. Just wait for blogging to take hold and millions of bloggers finding their best voice by writing.
-- for educators to be experiencing real time dialogue online. Just wait for text messaging, commenting on blogs, Twitter and social networking sites to come online
I guess conventional education will go down in flames because the insiders are oblivious to the profound changes that have already occurred. Keep up the good work!
