a few questions...


what does it mean to

“educate to succeed?”

"Tom Taylor took the risk of dropping out from high school just to play
video games. The guy who is just 18 years old, was prompted to take
this step; because of the reason that emerged from his love for gaming.
After playing for six months on a full time basis the guy signed a
contract for a staggering $250,000.”

"I take risks," he told The Palm Beach Post. "In order to get paid, you
have to take risks. I think I took the biggest risk I could take, dropping
out of school to play video games, and it paid off."


what does it mean to “equip

them to contribute to the

let’s talk about change


21st century education

Teachers are no longer
mediators of content and
what gets shared by their
students with the world.

Students publish directly to the
Web and their teachers are lucky
if they can access it at school.

Parents are discovering that they can make more
powerful learning opportunities available to their
children in the home than they can in schools.

. . .schools are going to be marginalized as learning
environments if they do not change dramatically.

The role of technology in our

classrooms

paradigm--

support students teaching
themselves

Some people hesitate to take action because they are
waiting to become "good enough" to make a
difference. In fact, we never will have all the answers.

It is impossiple to be correct all of the time. So take a
new attitude this year and join the discussion!
