I have written several posts<\/a> based on my reading of Tom Friedman’s The World is Flat<\/a>. Friedman’s analysis has had an impact on educational thinking – partly in comparing different educational systems and partly in recognizing economic challenges that have educational implications. Friedman’s books have had a place on my iPod for several years and I have reviewed The World is Flat several times.<\/p>\n

If you are an educator and have not read or listened to the World is Flat, I can now suggest an alternative. I encourage you to follow Ted Koppel’s Discovery Channel series on China. The series began this evening. The Discovery Channel web site<\/a> offers some information on the series. The themes in the Koppel series and Friedman’s book are very similar. <\/p>\n

I am recording the Koppel series with our Tivo. This is serious stuff and worth reconsidering.<\/p>\n
