A Muse on Learning

This blog is a pretty good one for information which is of immediate use. Focuses on technology as the enabler for better teaching (and hence education).
While I am all for any improvements that technology can bring, I am frustrated with the bigger issue at hand. Learning needs teachers to have wisdom. and wisdom often has little correlation with knowledge (of the information kind). Living in a society as it exists today, the sensory overload and the race to be bigger, better, richer; for action does not portend very well to a wiser world. Here is where a Gurukul kind of system; techniques like the one espoused by Vipassana offer some hope.
If anyone has some experience with Gurukuls and Vipassana, please write in.
