Eric Qualman, a social media expert and founder of the blog socialnomics.net also developed this really compelling video appropriately titled “Social Media Revolution”. Qualman created the blog to accompany his widely successful book Socialnomics: How social media transforms the way we live and do business. Recently, I showed the video to a group of public-education professionals and they all made an interesting observation. ”The mere speed at which the information flashes by on the screen speaks volumes to how the current crop of 21st century learners deal with information.” I was especially encouraged when a principal from that same group remarked “Wouldn’t it be cool if we offered a high school class on socialnomics.” This is one of the many reasons why I’m such a huge advocate of public education.
