Recorded Google+ Hangout on YouTube: http://bit.ly/W0wL18

In this “fireside chat” with Dr. Augustine Fou, he will first present a few perspectives on how digital and social media have created new expectations and needs in the marketplace that today’s educational process and curriculum do not adequately fulfill. For example, today’s schools teach facts and use standardized tests to ensure a minimum fact-set is memorized and regurgitated. Tomorrow’s workforce however needs to know how to use the facts and combine them in new ways (i.e. innovation).

The intended audience is everyone who has thought about the challenging topic of how to improve education in not just the U.S. but globally, and how to best equip the workforce of the future to leverage abundant technology and information to innovate and create.
