When kids are engaged with discovery, magic happens. The institutions that structure public education tend to stifle that magic, but technology may be the savior in the "future of education" and it just may be the thing that lets kids drive their learning. In my scenario, kids will "teach" kids, or they will more effectively learn together. Classroom teachers become catalysts and mentors, rather than drill instructors tasked with promoting a roomful of kids to the next grade level. Technologies driving the social media revolution will enable this collaboration within a class, throughout a school and across the globe, uniting kids and igniting their curiosity to learn.

Just as technology today is shifting power and authority from centralized media to millions of individual bloggers, for example, these same technologies and techniques will shift the locus of learning from a central curriculum committee out and into the hands of students.
