Alex and his friends exemplify a finding highlighted in the most recent Speak Up survey: the emergence of what Project Tomorrow calls “free agent learners”—students who increasingly take learning into their own hands and use technology to create personalized learning experiences.
“For these students, the schoolhouse, the teacher, and the textbook no longer have an exclusive monopoly on knowledge, content, or even the education process, and therefore it should not be surprising that students are leveraging a wide range of learning resources, tools, applications, outside experts, and each other to create a personalized learning experience that may or may not include what is happening in the classroom,” 2010 Speak Up report says.
The survey indicated that students increasingly are seeking out and finding technology-based learning experiences outside of school—experiences that are not directed by a teacher or associated with class assignments or homework.
"Back in the day, when you bought a Mac, Photoshop was one piece of software you absolutely had to get. Problem is, even today it’s a package that can run you hundreds of dollars.
These days, there’s a slew of alternatives, from the stylish Pixelmator to the venerable GraphicConverter, but my personal favorite is Eddy Award-winner Acorn 2.1."
