    "Teaching is a noble call that suffers when we practice in isolation and flourishes when we work together, and at no time in history have we had the tools we do today that allow us to work together for the good of our children. When we take the time to learn and embrace these tools, we grow as professionals-I can testify to that wholeheartedly."

If We Didn't Have the Schools We Have Today, Would We Create the Schools We Have Today - 0 views

  • But most schools and classrooms will no longer be the central learning hubs they are today.   Today’s model of schooling is to bring the learner to the knowledge—tomorrow we will bring the knowledge to the learners.   We must recognize that schools and classrooms are becoming nodes in networked learning communities.   We must begin to think about how to organize learning in networked communities and not limit learning within the boundaries of classrooms and school buildings—which would be to limit our thinking to what has been possible in the past in a single school or node.
  • The new and more powerful opportunity available to educators today is to use these technologies to help individuals collaboratively construct networked learning communities that will accelerate and augment the community’s learning, as well as each individual’s learning.
