Intelligent link of the day
I stumbled across this blog post today
“Those that believe subjects such as History are outdated and irrelevant in the modern world are being naive and short sighted. The skills gained in these subjects are becoming more important than ever before. Learning things is hard and so trying to teach people on a moving platform, such as the Internet, is a really bad idea. By using a stable platform, such as a set period in History with lots of high quality information, makes it much easier to teach people how to become effective Information Gatekeepers.”
Is the crux of it but i recommend reading the whole post.
