Given this reality for many students, why are schools not embracing more digital, personal technology platforms (including laptops as well as cell phones) as incredibly powerful learning levers and amplifiers? Sadly, fear and ignorance continue to define many conversations in many school board meetings.

"Mobile citizen journalism" is another popular trend that schools can harness, Ms. Kolb said, though she did not know of any school newspapers doing it extensively yet.

YouthLearn.com’s article “Creating a Classroom Community: How to Inspire Collaboration and Sharing and Get Kids to Feel Like They Are Part of a Community” highlights among others the following techniques: Keep the idea of collaboration in the forefront of your mind at all times. Build elements into every activity so that kids learn that sharing ideas and knowledge is part of the normal routine. Applications include everything from bringing in samples for a project you are about to start to doing group shares when you are finished. Have kids work in teams (especially in pairs) whenever possible Always use a pair-share model as your standard operating procedure whenever introducing new concepts or demonstrating new skills. Engage the kids interactively at all times. For example, don’t just tell them things—ask questions, especially leading questions, during demonstrations.
