The seven keys to unlock the future
Presented by Gordon Dryden
Co-author of the new
book:
UNLIMITED:
The new learning revolution and the
seven keys to unlock it
This book is the sequel to the earlier book, The Learning Revolution, which has sold 10.2 million copies in China alone and been translated into 20 languages.
While the world rightly concentrates on major problems in global financial markets, Dryden argues that other much more important trends are now converging to bring about the biggest changes in world history: much bigger than the industrial revolution or the invention of the mass-produced book. He thinks New Zealand is uniquely placed to lead the new revolution, especially in the field of lifelong learning. Gordon will make his Wellington presentation on his return from being one of the main keynote speakers, along with three Nobel Peace Prize-winners, at an international conference in Mexico.
The Introductory summary to his new book co-authored with American doctor of education Jeannette Vos can be read at http://www.thelearningweb.net/, where you can also listen to a series of his radio interviews with prominent New Zealanders.
