The weblog of the Center for Teaching and Learning at the University of Georgia

Don Tapscott’s Grown Up Digital (Oct. 2008) chapter on education, summarized in two pages in Business Week. Teaser:

“In universities across the country, the smartest students often don’t go to lectures. One Stanford student said to me recently: ‘The thing around here is to get an A without ever attending a lecture.’”

Four additional two-pagers (of eight projected) are linked at “Putting People First“– including one on “How Digital Technology Has Changed the Brain.”
