Reader quotes:
‘David uses his skills as a storyteller to craft a very readable book, a recommended read for anyone interested in the future of work, life and learning. Since reading the book, it has bubbled its way into a myriad of conversations with educators, parents and students.’
“I don’t remember ever tearing through a book this quickly. It is so relevant and timely. If you are involved in education in any way, you should read this book, right away. It connects all of those questions, current events and challenges of a changing world that echo through our classrooms, each day.”
“For educators at all levels this is an insightful and therefore powerful analysis of how the way we live and work is changing, and how our education systems have been left behind.”
“An essential and inspiring read”
“I’m an eLearning professional and I can see with my own eyes, from Google to online communities, YouTube to MOOCs, “open” is a quiet revolution that is already impacting every level of the educational sector.”
“In a media which is seemingly so negative, always reporting on the harm new technologies can do it was so refreshing to read about the good they can do…The other aspect of the book that I find inspiring is the evidence of the kindness of people, the drawing together of communities to a shared goal.”
“This is a brilliant treatise on new and emerging approaches to learning, work and collaboration….Learning is a lifelong work that fuels our creativity and innovation. As Price observes, it is not something that should be ‘done to us’ but ‘done by us.”
