    "teachers should take on new roles and approaches to using technology that transform the learning experiences they offer to students.  We need to help educators become fluent users of technology, creative and collaborative problem solvers, and adaptive, socially aware experts throughout their careers. We need to equip them with a pedagogy that is rich in project-based, authentic learning experiences that require students to use technology as tools for discovery, collaboration, and the creation.  Only then will we see the full impact of what is possible with technology. The notion that technology itself can improve student outcomes must die. "

  • productive learning is the learning process which engenders and reinforces wanting to learn more" (p. x). Never has that been more possible than at this moment of abundant access to information, knowledge, and people via the web. But "wanting to learn more" suggests a transfer of power over learning from teacher to student—it implies that students discover the curriculum rather than have it delivered to them. It suggests that real learning that sticks—as opposed to learning that disappears once the test is over—is about allowing students to pursue their interests in the context of the curriculum.
  • literacy is much more than simply reading and writing texts. The organization's position statement (n.d.) now defines 21st century literacies as including "proficiency with the tools of technology," an ability to "manage, analyze, and synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous information," an ability to "design and share information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes," and more.
  • Stanford professor Howard Rheingold, believe that technology now requires an attention literacy—the ability to exert some degree of mental control over our use of technology rather than simply being distracted by it

  • If anything, I think Minecraft is making kids smarter. But whenever I say that, the technophobes, the Waldorf parents, and a whole subset of very smart, compassionate, concerned parents and teachers get very curmudgeonly.
  • We need to stop blaming the video games and start trying to make kids as passionate about the life-world as they are about the game-world. The trouble is that our own egos are in the way.
