    ""The amount of potential unlocked by the industrial revolution is dwarfed in information terms by what you can do with computers," said Ari Geshner, a senior software engineer at Palantir, a much-discussed data analysis startup whose customers include US intelligence and defense agencies. "Digital literacy is about learning to use the most powerful tools we've ever built." The tricky part comes in defining what exactly is meant by "use." Most people who use computers don't know how to build software. Does that mean they're digitally illiterate?"

    "Sugar is a learning platform that reinvents how computers are used for education. Collaboration, reflection, and discovery are integrated directly into the user interface. Sugar promotes "studio thinking" and "reflective practice". Through Sugar's clarity of design, children and teachers have the opportunity to use computers on their own terms. Students can reshape, reinvent, and reapply both software and content into powerful learning activities. Sugar's focus on sharing, criticism, and exploration is grounded in the culture of free software (FLOSS)."

  • Research suggests that the most creative children are the least likely to become the teacher’s pet, and in response, many learn to keep their original ideas to themselves.
  • What holds them back is that they don’t learn to be original. They strive to earn the approval of their parents and the admiration of their teachers.
  • only a fraction of gifted children eventually become revolutionary adult creators,
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • The parents of ordinary children had an average of six rules, like specific schedules for homework and bedtime. Parents of highly creative children had an average of fewer than one rule.
  • “Emphasis was placed on the development of one’s own ethical code.”
  • parents didn’t dream of raising superstar kids. They weren’t drill sergeants or slave drivers. They responded to the intrinsic motivation of their children. When their children showed interest and enthusiasm in a skill, the parents supported them.
  • A majority of the tennis stars remembered one thing about their first coaches: They made tennis enjoyable.
  • Research reveals that the more we practice, the more we become entrenched — trapped in familiar ways of thinking.
  • what motivates people to practice a skill for thousands of hours? The most reliable answer is passion — discovered through natural curiosity or nurtured through early enjoyable experiences with an activity or many activities.
  • In fashion, the most original collections come from directors who spend the most time working abroad.
  • winning a Nobel Prize is less about being a single-minded genius and more about being interested in many things.
  • Relative to typical scientists, Nobel Prize winners are 22 times more likely to perform as actors, dancers or magicians; 12 times more likely to write poetry, plays or novels; seven times more likely to dabble in arts and crafts; and twice as likely to play an instrument or compose music.
  • “Love is a better teacher than a sense of duty,” he said.
  • You can’t program a child to become creative. Try to engineer a certain kind of success, and the best you’ll get is an ambitious robot.
  • If you want your children to bring original ideas into the world, you need to let them pursue their passions, not yours.
