  • When students were succeeding in school with no technology, we were also living in a world with little technology, and preparing students for life in a world where technology wasn't a part of their daily lives.  
  • Technology is no substitute for an inspiring teacher. However, on-line materials are far more available. Twenty times more.
  • Because the students have access to the same tools over the web, they can reinforce the ideas by experimenting with the simulations themselves, any time, any where.

  • The worldview of the student can be expanded because of the zero cost of communicating with other people around the globe.

  • education is falling behind the curve,1 as it did during the rapid changes brought on by the Industrial Revolution.
  • The last major changes to cur­riculum2 were effected in the late 1800s as a response to the sudden growth in societal and human capital needs
  • Having students develop deep knowledge is as essential as ever. But today, we must also make that knowledge relevant.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Tough choices must be made regarding what to pare back in order to allow for more appropriate areas of focus
  • we need to infuse “themes” — important lenses such as global literacy, environmental literacy, information literacy, digital literacy, systems thinking, and design thinking

  • Character is about how we engage in the world.
  • Meta-learning is the awareness of one’s own learning and cognitive ability. Having such an awareness is the best hedge against continuous changes.

  • The Opportunity for Independent Schools
