Right now, I'm reading
Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns, by Clayton Christensen. I don't want to tell you that you should read it too, because I've just started, but also because I'll bet your list of books to read is probably a mile long, just like mine. Instead, I want you to read
this little article that serves as a pretty good overview of the key concepts in the book:
- Sustaining innovation
- Disruptive innovation
- Hybrid/blended teaching models
- Flex, A La Carte, Enriched Virtual, and Individual Rotation
The article is K12-focused (something we're used to in adult ed), but the current tumultuousness in our field will make it pretty easy to see paralells when it comes to competing teaching models vying for learners attention (or maybe that should be: competing learning models vying for teachers' attention!).
That's it. No lecture from me. We'll talk after you've read it. The comments section is where you do that. See you there.
