Unstructured learning
“I think a learner-centric model will produce better learning outcomes than an enterprise-centric model and I also think these consumer learning companies will be better businesses too.”
I couldn’t agree more. I am a big believer in carving out our own path for learning as much as possible on as many topics as possible. Unstructured learning is hard, messy and rewarding.
@soopa My learning tools past 3 years - internet (ie. blogs, newsletters), books that I pick, not a random person at some school, twitter (curation, discovery, expand overton window, discussions, people), podcasts (lectures where I get to pick who teaches me).

Internet is a wonderful place. Incorporating it in the learning process is surprisingly still one of highest ROI investments one can make. Even in 2018.
A good mix of self-motivation, right tools and a network of smart, curious people can do wonders for accelerating our growth in almost every field these days.
Letting students conflate getting a 4.0 in a gameable, structured environment with essential life skill of unstructured learning is one of the worst structural outcomes of our edu system. twitter.com/sarthakgh/stat…

Level of access Twitter has given me to discuss w & learn from practitioners across areas is crazy. Who would have thought that a SMS product where you told your friends what you ate for breakfast can become a learning network? It has expanded my interest graph & overton window.
