I'm the kind of person who needs this style of learning anyway, and often gave significant credence to the thought of quitting college during undergrad because school was so painful for me. It's amazing how slow adoption rates are on ideas like this, and I hope to god that we make these changes in a widespread manner by the time my children are in school. On a side note: I was tempted to use the Facebook comments, until I realized there's no meta data giving credit to me, my site, or my Twitter handle. Take about room for improvement! .-= Tyler Hayes shares <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TSHayes/~3/1x9RjWT_CLo/" rel="nofollow">One year Twitter anniversary and thoughts on the future</a> with you =-.

Plus, we already are raising a generation that can't tell time without a digital display, who can't make change without a cash register telling them what the change is and who can only relate in 140 characters or fewer - it all sounds like laziness of mind to me, not the opposite. There are times when you can look something up and there are times when you have to rely on your memory - oh dear, I forgot about pulling out your mobile device at inappropriate times to look something up. Why bother with a formal education system at all? .-= Gillian Swart shares <a href="http://portreporterunlimited.blogspot.com/2009/06/farmers-market-howling-success.html" rel="nofollow">Farmers' market a howling success</a> with you =-.
