This picture came to me via Sally Khallash, a Futurist, with the Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies.
I laughed when I saw it and then thought about how some things about training & development should be equally obvious.
We, as learning specialists, should be setting a sumptuous smorgasbord of learning opportunities so participants can’t help themselves but dive in …. a smorgasbord that offers learning opportunities that is:
- inclusive
- engaging
- accessible
- intriguing
Why then is the traditional university lecture still held up as the epitome of learning?
FYI: This sign was up for decades in my hometown of Griffin, GA. It was recently taken down so the bridge could be demolished. Everybody is sad about it.
I bet. It’s such a fabulous sign. What a legacy to let go of. Thank goodness for pictures! Thanks for commenting Wendy; I hope you are on the cusp of a lovely New Year.
I miss that sign. I laughed every time I saw it. I don’t go to Griffin much, but when I did, I made a point to go see that sign. Doesn’t feel the same since I can’t go see it anymore. I work in a frame shop. I’ve lost count how many times I have framed different pictures of this sign of the 6th Street Bridge. Love seein em every time they come in.
So great to hear from someone who’s seen it in person!
