Teaching my students Googliness- the killer app in the new economy
Filed Under Learning Strategies, motivating students
Googliness? Yes, that’s the ability to solve problems in unique ways, lead co-workers and thrive in a loose organizational structure.
Laszlo Bock, vice president of people operations at Google maintains “If you have those skills, you can learn any job we give you” .
The fusing of ” left-brain skills with right-brain insights is considered the killer app in a new economy that will put a premium on creative breakthroughs… We’re convinced true innovation comes at the intersection of different fields.”
I’m looking forward to telling my students in my Advanced Learning Strategies Class that I’m going to teach them Googliness. I want to see their reaction. Maybe rebranding an old skill with a new name will catch their imagination.
I want to thank @ellenweber for her tweet about right-vs-left brains
Now that I think about it, I should be teaching Googliness to my math students as well.
