  • E-Textbooks are a tool, a tool that in the hands of good teachers and motivated students would produce some absolutely special results. E-Textbooks are only part of the solution. What we need is a situation where student buy-in to their own education. This is where you really see student engagement. 
  • What I really think is this! I think this is the most exciting time in history to be involved in education

  • With the huge potential that Information and communication technology has to offer for teaching and learning also comes a matching potential for distraction, illicit and inappropriate activity, and poor judgement.

  • The most salient lessons are not learned by avoidance but by facing you action, its impact, and the consequences.

  • All teachers are teachers of citizenship.
  • The teacher is no longer just the master of their subject. They are much, much more. Their classroom is no longer defined by four walls and a blackboard, but stretches far beyond the physical boundaries of their school. We are global teachers, ethicists, and moralists. We are masters of our subject and students of the world.
