Recenzii
This book touches many of the changes we are currently facing or will face in the near future. Change is coming at a rapid pace and we as Technical/Community College leaders must embrace these changes and lead the way.
Facing an Exponential Future: Technology and the Community College," captivates the reader's mind and emotion with what seems an overwhelming plethora of change factors already shaping our world as we know it. Our individual challenge will be keeping up with the breadth and depth of such exponential change!
Our nation was built on a blue collar, technical workforce, and our ability to refocus the education system to integrate and train a workforce for emerging technologies is critical for future growth of the economy! This book chronicles many of the current challenges.
It was an interesting read and certainly makes one step back and think how things have changed and the acceleration for the present and future.
This is a must-read for all community college administrators who want to continue to be a dominant force in workforce development in the 21st century. The book makes a compelling case that our current delivery models are antiquated and doomed and that exploding technologies cannot be ignored. Furthermore, it makes the case is a forthright, understandable, and yet, entertaining way.
Technology's nature, and its influence on everyday lives, has been debated since John Henry's hammer fell. This book underscores the need for community college leaders to be vigilant on this issue if their institutions are to remain relevant.
Facing an Exponential Future: Technology and the Community College punctuates the fact that leaders possessing innovation, creativity, and critical thinking skills are those best equipped to be successful in moving their institutions forward. The ability to embrace emerging technologies and apply them to better serve students and communities is a key requirement for today's effective leadership.
Facing an Exponential Future: Technology and the Community College effectively discusses ten selected emergent technologies that offer both challenges and opportunities for community colleges. Any book that starts with an analogy of falling into a rabbit hole and ends with a challenge to 'experience exponential growth by thinking exponentially' is destined to become a bookshelf staple.
