the future of learning manifesto
Christian Long wrote “The Future of Learning Manifesto”. Short version:
1. “Playing Small Does Not Serve the World.“
2. What Would Socrates Do?
3. Nobody Cares if You Walked Up Hill Both Ways Barefoot in the Snow.
4. Got Passion? If Not, I’ll Tell You What To Care About.
5. My Memory Is Only As Big As My Heart. Otherwise, I’ll Stick with Google
6. Look it Up or Die.
7. Collaboration Ain’t About Holding Hands. It’s about Going Cool Places Fast.
8. This Will Go Down on Your Permanent Record.
9. It Ain’t About the Technology. It’s About Being Inside the Story.
10. Nobody Knows the Answer. Get Comfy with the Questions.
You can read the entire long version here. Thanks, Christian!
PS: Yeah, I know, the long version is much longer than 500 words, which is the maximum I normally “allow” for the manifestos. Then again, the abridged version he e-mailed was me was well under 500 words, so I thought, what the hell, cut him some slack etc.

A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.].
A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.
Christian Long is one squeaky-smart dude. Glad to see you highlight him and his site here.
Education is the future.
Education that includes the in’s and out’s of passion, yeah, and facilitating same.
As a teacher, this one interested me especially. I’ve read both versions and I prefer this one.
A robust paradigm you can really get your head around (buzz buzz buzz).
Excellent cartoon! — why do I feel the urge to scribble the names of most companies I have ever worked for on the shirts of these guys…
Cheers,
