  • now people know the product of two times two so exactly that in a hundred years they won't be able to figure it out.
  • the new infernal machine seems increasingly to obey nothing but its own developmental logic, and it's far more enslavingly addictive, and far more pandering to people's worst impulses, than newspapers ever were.
  • Amazon wants a world in which books are either self-published or published by Amazon itself, with readers dependent on Amazon reviews in choosing books, and with authors responsible for their own promotion
  • The work of yakkers and tweeters and braggers, and of people with the money to pay somebody to churn out hundreds of five-star reviews for them, will flourish in that world. But what happens to the people who became writers because yakking and tweeting and bragging felt to them like intolerably shallow forms of social engagement? What happens to the people who want to communicate in depth, individual to individual, in the quiet and permanence of the printed word, and who were shaped by their love of writers who wrote when publication still assured some kind of quality control and literary reputations were more than a matter of self-promotional decibel levels?

  • The report distinguishes between “active” and “passive” technology use, noting that some students get to use technology to create, design, build, explore, and collaborate, while other simply use technology to consume media passively, work through boring adaptive learning tutorials or take online tests.
  • Project-based learning is lionized in this plan as teachers “create an engaging and relevant lesson that requires students to use content knowledge and critical thinking skills” by asking students “to solve a community problem by using technology
  • When students use social networking platforms to gather information and suggestions of resources, and then draft and present their work by using animated presentation software or through multimedia formats such as videos and blogs, this work is authentic and meaningful to learners and community members alike.

    Research and media skills:  research and media skills blended into the Standards as a wholeTo be ready for college, workforce training, and life in a technological society, students need the ability to gather, comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, and report on information and ideas, to conduct original research in order to answer questions or solve problems, and to analyze and create a high volume and extensive range of print and nonprint texts in media forms old and new. The need to conduct research and to produce and consume media is embedded into every aspect of today's curriculum. In like fashion, research and media skills and understandings are embedded throughout the Standards rather than treated in a separate section.
