  3. Notes: 1 / 1 week ago 

    Sooo excited for the next decade in the education sector.

    To give a little background, last week, Harvard and MIT made headlines with the launch of EdX, a joint online education initiative that will place lectures from the best instructors online, complete with reading material, automated quizzes, wiki-style forums, and a tailored assessment of progress. […] But, saying that EdX is “the biggest change in education since the invention of the printing press” ignores the fact that lectures are often the least educational aspect of college.

    Last week, two Stanford professors made a courageous proposal to ditch lectures in the medical school. “For most of the 20th century, lectures provided an efficient way to transfer knowledge, But in an era with a perfect video-delivery platform — one that serves up billions of YouTube views and millions of TED Talks on such things as technology, entertainment, and design — why would anyone waste precious class time on a lecture?,” write Associate Medical School dean, Charles Proberand business professor, Chip Heath, in The New England Journal of Medicine. Instead, they call for an embrace of the “flipped” classroom, where students review Khan Academy’s YouTube lectures at home and solve problems alongside professors in the classroom. Students seem to love the idea: when Stanford piloted the flipped classroom in a Biochemistry course, attendance ballooned from roughly 30% to 80%.

    So much uncertainty. Really anything could happen, and I love that. The entire 4-year higher education system could be uprooted, and it’s starting to look like a decade isn’t even too tight of a time frame. The change could have huge effects on the social system in America and, perhaps even more so, worldwide. I love that universities have to think like businesses. I love that hundred-year-old systems are facing revolution. I love that I might just be in the right time and right place to take part in it.

    People ask me how I can identify a car from a hundred feet away at night.

    I have no clue. All I know is I’ve been doing it since, like, 8.

    I just remembered I like Eminem a lot.

    Actually, I like Eminem more than I like most of his songs. My favorite Eminem album is his greatest hits album.
