NASSP - Shifting Ground
"For quite some time, the promise of 21st century tools in schools has been a focus of the education community. In too many schools, however, there haven’t been major changes in the way in which students learn. Postman (1992) wrote that certain technologies are transformative, not additive, and used the Guttenberg printing press as his example: when the printing press was invented, the outcome wasn’t Europe plus some books, but a whole new Europe. Despite investing billions of dollars in hardware, wiring, and professional development, too many schools are the same as ever, only with some computers, when they should be whole new schools where kids are accomplishing things that no one ever dreamed possible.

The Fischbowl: More Than a Passing Trend Part II
@Marita - I agree that information literacy is huge, and some of his stats definitely need to be looked at. But a fair number of them are accurate, and the big picture of social media and how it relates to branding, marketing and running a business is an idea we need to look at more closely (and, of course, the related issue of its affect on education/schools/teaching/learning). I don't think we should dismiss the issues this raises just because he ran a little loose with some of the facts.
