Malia's decision to take a gap year isn't just good for her - it's good for the country - 0 views

  • There is growing research showing that taking a bridge year boosts motivation, confidence and achievement and, for many, a cost savings as it decreases the timeline to graduation. 
  • When we enable students to step out of the classroom and focus on what really matters, they discover who they are and who they hope to become. And they do that before someone (whether a parent, benefactor or government program) makes the single largest investment of a young person’s life: a college education.
  • It's time to rebrand the “gap year” as what it has the potential to be -- a “bridge year” or “launch pad” -- and to make it a more encouraged, accepted and accessible option for kids from all backgrounds.

  • Many people think we earn a living. But you learn a living
  • Our research and others’ have found that those further afield from you may be able to introduce you to job opportunities. So it helps to have a diverse network with people who aren’t in your industry or geographic area.

    Another in the blog series by Brad Zomick for skilledup for learners from 9/14/13. He discusses whether digital badges and certificates mean anything to employers, and what their actual worth is. Badges are mostly used for incentives along the way in a course, and are often not very meaningful. Same for certificates of completion. Most valuable are online certifications if they are associated with a company such as Microsoft, an accredited school, or other recognized entity. Zomick states that online badges, certificates, and credentials are most valuable when embedded in an online portfolio that shows your work and the skills you learned to do the work.
