The Mind of Mierow

I recently began reading Wikinomics. I’m only about 1/3 of the way through, but it is an amazing read. Since I work at a university, and I have many family & friends that work in education, I have started to wonder about the possibilities for using some of the ideas in this book in education today. The book actually talks a little bit about this (at least in what I’ve read so far). While I was able to find items like this and this, I’m not exactly sure that my ideas of open source education would work at the college level. I guess I’m not even sure what all my ideas are yet.

I also think in order understand part of where the ideas come from, a great book to preface it with is The World is Flat. This helped me get a grasp on changes I had been seeing in the world, but not understanding the bigger picture. I can’t wait to see where all these ideas and conversations lead to.
