The skinny on 'Lean' education

ScienceDaily (2010-01-03) -- Educators should learn from the "Just-In-Time" and "Lean" production techniques used by the automotive industry if they are to add value to the student experience as quickly and effectively as possible.

Do we need to go beyond value?

Add value.
Increase yield.

In manufacturing - these are goals.

But after reading Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food the application of these goals to the food industry has led to some very negative consequences.

Hmmm ...

A second start

Well my first attempt at blogging ended up in the Blogger's spam-prevention robots characterizing my blog as SPAM !

I was treating the blog as my digital scrapbook as I collected information on anything remotely connected with the topic of time.  And I also went off topic a bit.

For reasons yet to be revealed - I did have several posts on excerpts of Aristotle.  I wonder if the robots considered it "... irrelevant, repetitive, or nonsensical text"?  Especially considering the posts where in not in sequential order.    And each post had a reference to where I got the Aristotle text from  (just giving credit to the guy the originally transcribed it all into HTML).

Well ... let's try this blogging thing again ...
