I love the report.Charles Leadbetter and Annika Wong have done a great job with that graphic which really shows what needs to be done to always be able to make education more effective and efficient. The combination of informal learning and disruptive innovation is most intruiging in my opinion. This can really help transform education and how people are tought. I think using technology would be a great factor that could have a significant effect on education as children and people of all ages are using technology and most people like to keep pace with the daily updated technologies.Hope all schools and teachers would support this report and try to apply it as much as possible

[...] Will Richardson linked this week to a Cisco-sponsored report entitled Learning from the Extremes. Much as I found We-Think by co-author Charles Leadbeater a tortuous and platitude-riddled affair, I’m looking forward to going through the report in more detail. A great point is made on p.16 about it not being education we need to reform but society: Spreading learning is not just a question of providing more teachers and schools. A parallel process of social and cultural change is critical, so that learning is taken more seriously at home and in society. An educated society does not just have an effective school system; it has a culture that values learning. [...]

I prefer the word ‘eruptive’ in place of the word ‘disruptive’. I think it helps to make change a more appealing alternative to those comfortable with the status quo.

Your post has me “hook” Will. I’ve downloaded the report and can’t wait to read it and share it with my boss (superintendent of a regional service agency). Keep writing.

Love the article. I haven’t read the booklet yet, but I think some of their ideas will take us far. As a teacher who is interested in and excited by technology in education, I just hope that our current school system has a place in here somewhere.
