Information technologies are having a significant impact on how people work, play, gain information, and collaborate. Increasingly, those who use technology in ways that expand their global connections are more likely to advance, while those who do not will find themselves on the sidelines. With the growing availability of tools to connect learners and scholars all over the world - online collaborative workspaces, social networking tools, mobiles, voice-over-IP, and more - teaching and scholarship are transcending traditional borders more and more all the time. (Emphasis mine.)

If we are to equip students to navigate a digital world, education ought to be based on assessing students' individual strengths and weaknesses rather than making glib generalisations that mistake using Facebook for technological savvy.

Over the past couple of years, I've had the opportunity to plan some events that are focused on teaching and learning with technology (lower case since it is about the topic, not the TLT organization). These include the 2007 and 2008 TLT Symposiums and the Learning Design Summer Camp as well as some smaller events.

College freshman are more politically engaged today than at any point during the last 40 years, with 89.5 percent reporting that they frequently or occasionally discussed politics in the last year, according to UCLA's annual survey of the nation's entering students at four-year institutions.

The closest they came to a fan was an associate provost who admitted that he saw grade inflation as completely out of control and said that for more students at his and similar institutions, the grade-point average range is around 3.4 to 3.8. It seemed that everyone else in the room had been motivated to attend by their sense that the system isn't working: Other academic administrators who said grades had become meaningless.

When asked the question: "Do you trust the cloud?," the majority of responses either came back as a flat-out "no" or as a longer explanation as to why their response was a "maybe" or a "sometimes." Some said the cloud was trustworthy enough for non-critical data, but not for secure and private communications, such as those used in the enterprise.

This blog post is somewhat a summary of my understanding of what Sakai 3 is all about, from a user point of view. I hope it can become a starting point for current community members who might still see Sakai 3 as a blurry long term vision, and maybe even draw more people's attention to Sakai as a valid alternative to commercial learning management systems like Blackboard.

I told the audience that we would start getting replies in 15 seconds, but it didn't even take that long. Here are some of the replies that began scrolling up the screen:

For years, workplace experts have touted the value of multitasking. But today, it's common to hear people complain about the inability to stay on track long enough to read a simple news story. The Internet is a snacking medium; people only consume bits and pieces. Prensky believes employers need to change their workplace culture in order to take advantage of the skills today's techno-savvy employees bring to the table.
