  • Dr. Papert begins at the 20-minute mark.
  • Papert explores constructionism vs. instructionsm, the potential of the Internet, teacher "training," the choice between Monday and Someday, as well as what we can learn from watching children play video games OR what children can learn by making video games.

    Listen carefully at around 27:00 about uncertainty of impact on new social connections via screens... 38:00 "We need to maximize the ration of learning:teaching" 53:00 Teacher needs to be more of a philosopher than technician 62:35 onward: Teachers wait for "training" because that is the traditional paradigm of learning.

  • personalized learning – students owning what they learn.

  • "elephant in the room," a big conspicuous but largely undiscussed problem: What should we do with tired content?
  • If only we could shrink some topics, we could expand others that offer much more.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • the elephant fights back! The gridlock of textbooks, testing, college admissions standards, and more makes forthrightly shelving traditional topics politically and practically perilous.
