"I found this book to be OK. I have a feeling it might become the "next big thing" in education world for awhile. Many of the authors ideas made me think: "whatever". Without funding they simply cannot happen. It isn't that they aren't good ideas, having started a charter school in 2000, I've actually used some of them in practice...but they do go against the status quo in education...and are likely going to be slow to develop if they develop at all. The author spent too much time telling everyone what needs to be done and far too little time explaining how to make it happen I guess."
"We need to find ways to help people learn better.
Everyone agrees with that statement.
Who doesn't remember hours, days, years really, wasted listening to the drone of an instructor relating information one has already acquired? And an equal amount of time attempting to comprehend information an instructor is sharing that is so beyond one that there is no hope of understanding it?
I hoped this book would have powerful ideas for action leading to change. Instead, the book described the process education will change, despite our efforts, almost inevitably.
I didn't take away much from the book except a sense of hopefulness that education will improve in the future."
"The worst book I've read in many years.... Possibly the worst ever! If you do read it, please keep in mind that books like these are not necessarily written because the author believes what he is saying, or even knows what the heck he's talking about. They are written to make money! I'm not opposed to making money, but I seriously hope that no one takes this book too seriously. You know?? :)"
"Okay, I will admit that this was not bad. I still have a hard time taking advice about teaching and education from someone who has never taught. Anyway, there is some valid stuff in here, mostly about how online courses are going to improve and start to be used more often. Books like this always have motivational material for teachers, but this was seriously bogged down with lame business metaphors. If you like business and teaching, this is for you! I really liked the ideas, but I'm not that interested in business. Not bad."
