Change the Web

January 20th, 2009

Today was a great day to work on a university campus: great to be around the next generation that will usher in change. Young people who believe in change and who believe they can be apart of what makes the future a place we will want to live. As I told my students, “today is not about whom you voted for. It is not about politics. It is about opportunity, change, and hope: things that we all deserve to desire.”

Today, while I was in the classroom teaching the next generation of designers, A List Apart posted issue No. 276, an issue dedicated to change, change in web design education. Aarron Walter wrote an insightful article where he states,

No industry can sustain itself if it doesn’t master the art of cultivating new talent—an art that requires close ties between practitioners and educators.

I agree with Aarron and I hope that together our articles will create new opportunities for change.
