ONE GOAL - EDUCATION FOR ALL

Recent am descoperit cu placere pe Twitter o postare despre Cupa Mondiala FIFA care isi leaga numele de o campanie decenta si eleganta - "Fotbal pentru educatie". Afla detalii si transmite stirea mai departe. DE CE? Pentru ca 72 mil. de copii inca nu stiu sa citeasca. Pentru ca doar prin educatie se poate scapa de saracie. Si pentru ca NU trebuie sa donezi bani.

Exista o componenta educationala a site-urilor sociale?

Am citit recent - si imi cer scuze ca nu-mi amintesc sursa - ca atunci cand te hotarasti sa experimentezi Social Media trebuie sa stii exact ce stil de viata iti alegi. Daca vrei sa “traiesti” atmosfera de pub, Hi5 sau MySpace iti ofera o conversatie lejera: o barfa mica, o replica frivola. Daca esti genul mai “asezat”, Facebook pare sa creeze atmosfera de la un barbecue in curtea casei, cu familia si prietenii: adolescenti imprevizibili, unchi cu inclinatii intelectuate, bunici sfatosi, atmosfera spumoasa, dar decenta, presarata cu picanterii pe ici-colo. Si in sfarsit, LinkedIn unde nu ai ce cauta daca nu esti workaholic. Aici dai peste directori executivi, specialisti in marketing sau resurse umane, fiinte cu sange rece preocupati de SEO, CEO, ROI etc... Pare plictisitor, dar acesti oameni nu pierd timpul. Stiu exact ce menire au: sa faca bani.

Unde este locul educatiei in aceasta comunitate?
