John Seeley Brown speaks on education and Web2.0

OLDaily mentions the speech Brown made at MIT and some comments made on it on other blogs. Intrigued partly because Kevin just mentioned this guy to me, I followed the links to a CNET article

on the speech. One of my favorite quotes is: “”With every new piece of technology, to make this technology work, you have to change your teaching practices,” Seely Brown said. “Part of it is (thinking about) how to go from sage on the stage to being a real mentor.” In Faculty Development circles we say “guide on the side” instead of “real mentor” for the rhythm and rhyme but the point is the same. I am happy when innovative technology tools and good teaching practice meet : )
