Reid Cornwell Laws of Asymetric Competition : Michel Buawens - TEDx Brussels


This presentation starts by presenting a history of human cooperation, based on the recent discovery of the power of intrinsic motivation as hyper-productive.

A new model based on the centrality of collaborative platforms, shared designs, and… Continue

Reid Cornwell How Corruption Erodes Public Trust - Lawrence Lessig

"More people supported the British Crown at the time of the Revolution than support our Congress today," he jokes. Larry Lessig introduces the Safra lecture series with a discussion on institutional corruption. He explores the prevalence of this form of corruption in fields ranging from politics to medicine to journa… Continue

Maree Conway Life happens online too...

In the last week, I’ve heard several comments about how online communication isn’t real communication. The assumption underpinning these comments is that to really communicate you have to have a face-to-face conversation. Anything else just isn’t real. In a room of 50 people last week, the question was posed: who in the room uses Twitter? I put up my hand (I had been tweeting all morning), but no one else did. This was a room of cross-generational people, not just baby boomers like me. I was a… Continue

Bonnie Bracey Sutton They Left No Child Behind in their Quest to Teach

You never hear me fuss about religious schools, or charter schools, or most types of schools I have even taught in DODDS Schools and in a school for dropouts. Teaching is sometimes a challenge but the nuns who taught me were up to every challenge. So, that is one of the reasons I get fired up when people like Michelle Rhee make fun of older teachers and do not realize that these people and others stood in places where no one cared to teach and produced miracles. My skill in teaching and being a… Continue

Marion Brady Education Reform: Wrong Diagnosis, So Wrong Cure

My guest column in the Washington Post, 11-04-09] Education Reform: Wrong Diagnosis, So Wrong Cure When "Race to the Top" fails, as it will, the main reason won’t be any of those currently being advanced by the corporate interests and politicians now running the education show. It won’t fail because of lack of academic rigor, poor teaching, weak administrators, too-short school year, union resistance, differing state standards, insufficient performance incentives, sorry teacher training, or li… Continue
