But there are many more old things children are doing in new ways -- innovations they have invented or adopted as their preferred method of behavior -- that have not yet made their way into our schools. These include buying school materials (clothes, supplies, and even homework) on eBay and the Internet; exchanging music on P2P sites; building games with modding (modifying) tools; setting up meetings and dates online; posting personal information and creations for others to check out; meeting people through cell phones; building libraries of music and movies; working together in self-formed teams in multiplayer online role-playing games; creating and using online reputation systems; peer rating of comments; online gaming; screen saver analysis; photoblogging; programming; exploring; and even transgressing and testing social norms.

it is crucial for educators to learn to listen, to observe, to ask, and to try all the new methods their students have already figured out, and do so regularly.

  STUDENT: I wish my teachers would ask me about how I use technology. Sometimes I find that they are trying so hard to use new technologies that they lose track of the students in the class. They are overwhelmed, and we don't always benefit from their anxiety. I also think that teachers need to LET GO a little more and allow us to use skills we have acquired outside of school in the classroom. Haven't they heard Mimi Ito????

  Wow! This would make a big difference for my parents. My parents both work. Hard. A lot. One of my parents works every day of the week, so that I can go to an expensive international school. I am worried that the school will implement a one-to-one laptop solution that will ask my parents to pay more money. 1,000 dollars is not a lot of money for some of my classmates, but it is for my parents.
