  • they are understanding a complex text and making sense of it within the context of their own lives.   No parent wants more, no teacher does, than for kids to be able to not just "read" Shakespeare but to understand why his work still speaks urgently to the present, why it is worth taking the time to read all that odd English from another time
  • We are not responsible as educators unless we are teaching not just with technology but through it, about it, because of it.   We need to make kids understand its power, its potential, its dangers, its use.  That isn't just an investment worth making but one that it would be irresponsible to avoid.

  • It is a third gadget, the long-awaited Amazon tablet called the Kindle Fire, that represents his company’s most ambitious leap into the hearts, minds, and wallets of millions of consumers.
  • the Fire is an emblem of a post-web world, in which our devices are simply a means for us to directly connect with the goodies in someone’s data center.
  • Amazon, on the other hand, is a content-focused company—almost half of its revenue comes from sales of media like books, music, TV shows

  • This keeps iPads tethered to the paradigm of local storage, putting a premium on machines with more memory (which cost hundreds of dollars more). Amazon, by contrast, emphasizes streaming.

  • 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.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Instead of teaching (push), students can be given projects that require them to learn (pull) the necessary material themselves.
  • A vital skill in the new digital world is the ability to work collaboratively on projects with others who may not be physically close.
  • The worldview of the student can be expanded because of the zero cost of communicating with other people around the globe.
  • Students are, of course, all different.
  • To cash in this benefit, schools need to go paperless.

  • There is no area of human endeavour that is less collaborative than education. Teaching and lecturing are largely lone wolf activities in classrooms.
  • Surely it’s our schools and universities, not young people, who need to be dragged into the 21st century.
  • Creative people tend to struggle somewhat at school where academic subjects and exams brand them as failures.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • I agree with the substantive point that many educators don't have skills to teach these things directly, but I do think we can create environments in which they can emerge and be developed.
