The World is Flat – Thomas Friedman

Posted at 10:28 pm under General Education, Uncategorized




Through his book “The World is Flat”, Thomas Friedman has given us all a new perspective on how globalization affects the work place, economic competition and by default education .   Schools have got to change and adapt teaching-learning methods that are more interactive, focused on technology use, emphasize individual problem-solving and group team work.  These teaching-learning methods  will prepare students for a competitive employment market.  The time is now, we cannot wait. 

A free download copy of the book is available until August 4, 2008. Go to www.thomaslfriedman.com/giveaway.
