Thanks for the note. I'd love to see a copy / synopsis of your presentation.

My point about the absence of more references to education in Wikinomics wasn't so much a crtique of the book as it was a critique of higher education where we have yet to capitalize on sharing, peering, open source, and acting globally.

I agree that Tapscott did not include an education system that fosters the four standards so that the graduating workforce does not have to be retrained.

Clay Shirky in his book Here Comes Everybody hits on some of the same themes and I thought about how educators really need to read and understand these book/ideas.
I hope to give a presentation to the Massachusetts school superintendents at their technology conference in Oct about schools using the themes of Wikinomics to become 21st century business.
I will be interested in your article and any more thoughts about Wikinomics and education.

Students keep coming, states continue to fund us, there is no need to adapt these 'new fangled' technological "fads". If we had to adapt to survive, then maybe that would serve as the catalyst to get us moving a bit quicker, but until then, we'll continue to be several years behind the wave of change.

I think the root of the problem is there is no driving force to change. Students keep coming, states continue to fund us, there is no need to adapt these 'new fangled' technological “fads”. If we had to adapt to survive, then maybe that would serve as the catalyst to get us moving a bit quicker, but until then, we'll continue to be several years behind the wave of change.
