My ThoughtsMy Thoughts

In an information rich society, you need more trained professionals

Students NEED trained teachers and professionals to guide them in how to use information – both print and digital

More critical to have trained teachers guiding students in the use of information than ever before

Information is the oxygen of the modern age.

It seeps through the walls topped by barbed

wire, it wafts across the electrified borders.

In the information age, you don’t teach philosophy

as they did after feudalism. You perform

it. If Aristotle were alive

today he’d have a talk show.
