In this second session of the Teaching in a Connected World series by Dr. Kevin Washburn, we'll consider the goals and outcomes of teaching in a connected world. The Teaching in a Connected World series includes: Education in the Midst of Revolution (3 Parts), Thinking is the Target (3 Parts), Are our Means and Mission Mismatched? (3 Parts), Coaching: Teaching's New (or Coming) Metaphor (2 Parts).
