The "pick two" argument tends to hold weight if there's no way to execute anything better.

Innovation is finding ways to do things faster, better, and quite often (in the long run generally) cheaper. It's the nature of disruption.

For education.. it seems mighty suspicious that we can't create better ways of delivering curriculum that doesn't change often... but in social media we can pump out so much digital information of the latest happenings (or opinions/interpretations) that it can overwhelm the senses and brain and become fact.

But, what do non-academics know. And what do academics know about the capabilities and possibilities of tech.

The next year will be extremely interesting for experts and leaders to show, instead of tell or talk.



I 100% agree that the "pick two" only applies if you cannot setup and alternate system. Hence my recommendation to for certs to break the monopoly. I really think tech has yet to TRULY disrupt education.
