Michelle Sellinger, The Internet of Everything, and Learning More Effectively - For Life.

Rereading Michelle Selinger's piece on the Internet of Everything and Learning worth a go.  And it's not just for kids.

Children's educations tend to suffer most obviously sitting in a classroom with chalk and talk.  But adults - from surgeons to financial managers - could benefit enormously from getting the right information at exactly the right time.  Motivation soars as people get what they need to know when they need to know it.

Storytelling works, but only in the right context.  And because we all learn differently, the most certain way for us to all get what we need from stories (which, in themselves, are abstract) is not in advance or after the fact: it's at the point of application.  In other words, the right context is as important as the right information told in the right way.

Michelle doesn't talk about this as storytelling - but it is.

In addition to co-founding with me a traveling business communications academy called Shmooze, Michelle is helping me design an online course on pitching for investment.  Her experience is invaluable, and her work is inspiring.  Dr. Michelle Sellinger is definitely worth knowing about.
