Short Sims: The Pedagogy
for the Next Generation
In the recent article
“Education
for a Post-Baby Boomer World”, Clark
Aldrich invites us to commit to a new mission of education and use "learning
to do" media (such as Short Sims)
that directly build the competencies and conviction that lead to behaviors in
leadership, innovation, and other life and professional skills.
“Where
standardized tests and drills are necessary,” Clark adds, “use rigorous
assessment Short Sims focused on such topics as leadership, entrepreneurship,
stewardship, self-mastery, ethics, and innovation. We know we have assessment
right when students don't want to cheat.”
“Baby Boomers gave us online courses that
spoke the passive language of teaching, using lectures and workbooks,” states
Clark. “Now, Short Sims fill the
gaps by speaking the active language of real-world discovery and progress.”
