Much hangs in the balance for campuses - Lori Sturdevant, Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Joe Graba, 66, is among Minnesota's best education visionaries. A policy fellow for Education Evolving, a K-12 policy think tank, he's also a former head of the state's technical college system, a former deputy commissioner of education, and a former teacher and legislator.... "In-school learning is a constantly shrinking proportion of all learning. I grew up on a farm without electricity for the first 10 years of my life, and no radio for a lot of those years. My family and the little country school I went to were my total sources of interaction with the world. When I raised my children in the 1970s, we had TV, with satellite broadcasts from around the world. Today my grandkids are wired to the world. There is evidence that the heavy exposure today's children have to knowledge is actually changing the brain structure. They are developing learning styles, and nerve pathways in the brain, that will make them increasingly frustrated with a learning system that does not use electronically based learning."
