  • The truth is that if students are motivated to learn, they will learn, pretty much regardless of the specific format or technology that is used in the lessons themselves.  Conversely, if a student is not interested in learning, the details of how lessons are presented, technology, etc. don’t matter very much
  • He’s correct. In an ideal world students want to learn and teachers want to teach and the two meet in a common space where knowledge is transferred. Except how often and how well does that really happen?
  • School administrators hate technology, whether they admit it or not, because they don’t understand it and it takes funds away from hiring more teachers.

  • The other thing that’s happening is parents are changing
  • Parents aren’t the same as they used to be.
  • These parents all use computers every day. They grew up with computers. They don’t know a world without computers
  • I think time and space will cease to be factors in the educational experience with the result that the best teachers and the best students will have a far better chance of finding each other.
  • The current system is unfair to both kids.
  • The only solution I can see is one teacher per student. And the only way something close to that is going to happen is through technology.  And it’s coming.
