  • As lovely as they are to behold and consume, the million-dollar question is whether Inkling books provide more value to the learning process than print books.
  • The company addresses this in different ways, allowing for easy searching, for social-networked note-taking and highlighting to allow for robust group discussions online, and quizzes and self-assessment tools so learners know when they’re ready to move on to the next chapter.

  • knowledge is freely available, but the mentoring which makes that knowledge apprehensible and useful remains a precious resource.
  • Yet, even with this embarrassment of riches, we still yearn for the opportunity to conspire, to breathe the same air as our mentor, while they, by the fact of their presence, transmit mastery.

  • Hyperconnectivity has removed all of the friction which once made it difficult to connect directly to students, but has thus far ignored the teacher.  In the back of a classroom, students can tap on a mobile and correct the errors in a teacher’s lecture, but can the teacher get peer review of that same material?  Theoretically, it should be easy.  In practice, we’re still waiting.
  • Teachers need to work with other teachers, need to be mentored by other teachers, need to conspire with other teachers, in order to make their own pedagogical skills commensurate with the resources on offer to them.  Professional development must go hand-in-hand with an accelerated sharing of knowledge, lest this sharing only amplify the imbalances between classrooms and between schools.
