Teachers cram their curriculum with the 'skills development' and 'generic competencies' because knowledge, creativity and originality are too expensive to provide unmotivated students and parents obsessed with league tables, not learning.Meanwhile, the internet offers a glut of information about everything-under sun-, the mouse just click-away. Information is no longer for social good, but for sale.Tara Brabazon argues that this information fetish has been very damaging our institutions of learning and ambition of our students and educators. In the "University of Google", he projected the vision of challenging and passionate education as a pathway to renewal, where research is based on searches and students travel through knowledge, rather than consumers in the shopping center ideas.Angry cheap, humorous and practical in equal measure, " University of Google "is based on real teaching experience and at times moving and sometimes exasperated reflection on it. In doing so, he opened a new debate about how to make our educational system both productive and provocative in the (-post) information age.
