Video: Tony Wagner TEDx NYED
“What the world cares about is not what you know, but what you can do with what you know, and that is a completely different education problem. Then the question becomes do you have the skill, and do you have the will to use the knowledge you have acquired?” Tony Wagner’s words and passion for innovation and entrepreneurship ring true with many things I’m finding in the world of education around me.
