Signed up for ConvertKit email marketing software three days ago. Needed a profile pic. Here it is, from 2014. Jody Maberry asked me to do this so we can allow Podcast listeners to subscribe to my new podcast. PS. i will be teaching, as Jack Ma suggests in the video below, the soft stuff.

Are you keeping up with the future?

Current education teaches from a knowledge-based curriculum from the past 200 years.

This is an antiquated system that can never teach our children (and us) to compete with machines (AI).

So, really, are you keeping up?

Are you shedding old systems?

Are you learning, unlearning, and relearning?

The best time is today.

Do something that scares you, or something you “absolutely don’t have time for”, like take a walk outside.

Ask, “Am I satisfied?”

A summary of how and why Finland is rethinking education is here.

(Summary: By 2020, Finland plans to phase out teaching individual subjects such as math, chemistry and physics, and instead teach students by ‘topics’ or broad phenomena, so that there’s no more question about “what’s the point of learning this?”)
