The really real revolutionary revolution of the Internet | Stilgherrian
Because they’re looking at how the tools of Web 2.0 and beyond can be used to support the existing national and state governments and their institutions and instrumentalities. Because they still imagine that central authorities make everything happen. Because they still imagine that the role of the citizenry is to participate in systems set up for them by that central authority, instead of just autonomously doing things for themselves.

We’ve never had systems that would let us do more than that, so we’ve always had
to have conformity, with a current view. -

In 2000, society’s most critical endeavor, education, had not yet been
usurped by amateurs in Washington, and driven decades in the wrong direction by

Cloudworks - Grand challenges for educational technology
The digital divide between the tech savvy and non-tech savvy is ever increasing. How do we deal with this? How can we bring the majority on board or should we even try?
To what extend are we seeing evidence of Jenkin’s twelve digital literacies? How can we help those in education develop these more? How might we facilitate the development of these skills in learners?
How can we study these kinds of complex, fast evolving technological systems? What new methodologies might be needed?
What theoretical insights should we be drawing on to make sense of the co-evolution of tools and users that we are increasingly seeing?
Is there evidence of new pedagogies emerging?
Urgent Call to White House for Teens – Brain Leaders and Learners
-
In contrast, the rampant unchecked anger and frustration felt
in many secondary school communities literally robs a community’s currency such
as creativity, talent, and innovation. Teens come to class daily with
amazing mental resources such as natural drugs of choice for
turbulent times, and multiple intelligences. Secondary teachers
possess outmoded skills and so are unable exchange students’ lived experiences
into dividends that will fund their futures.

the skills that are easiest to teach and test are also the ones that are
easiest to digitize and outsourceIt’s the change underlying these tools that I’m trying to emphasize. Forget
blogs…think open dialogue. Forget wikis…think collaboration. Forget
podcasts…think democracy of voice. Forget RSS/aggregation…think personal
networks. Forget any of the tools…and think instead of the fundamental
restructuring of how knowledge is created, disseminated, shared, and validated.
George Siemensthe world today is about being able to do what you were NOT taught to do
As Stephen Heppell says, our biggest challenge is not being audacious
enough1:1 is not 4 times better than 4:1 [computer to student ratios]
guess who leads the public debate in education today? It is journalists and
politicians. It is about time we took the lead in setting the terms of that
debate

How could new ideas change education?
How can younger generations learn from the body of work of their successors?
How can we marry up all the great resources of people who know something great to those of us who could stand to learn more?
How can I help those of us who lived in the cubicle farms, and what can I do to share that information in a way that will empower others?
How can we equip our youth and/or our students and/or our business professionals?

Add Sticky NoteWe are not yet seeing a mass uprising of parents who "get it" and insist that
their children be given opportunities to "get it" as well... but you're a
parent, right? It's coming.- exactly essential. When nodes question hubs bottom up, change will start. Class action may be too rich, but if my kids were not exposed to quality learning while others were, I'd question, loudly. - on 2009-11-29
How Could New Ideas Change Education
’ve no idea where I will go with this in the larger context. I just wanted to put the thoughts out there. I’m curious as to what you’re thinking about it.
How can we build new learning models? How can we equip our youth and/or our students and/or our business professionals? How do we share what we’ve learned with these new tools? How do we equip our kids to do something with all we’ve learned from social media?

BBC NEWS | UK | Education | Danish pupils use web in exams | Diigo
Stephen Heppell, professor of new media environments at Bournemouth University, says UK examinations need to be brought up to date: "As a nation we've been really good at embracing technology - we've been really at the forefront of doing this well in the classroom.
"Then they go into the exam room and all that's taken away and they're given a fountain pen and a sheet of lines paper and a three hour time limit. It's time to get real, isn't it?"
Surely there's a better test
"How have I been shaped by my learning experiences? What skills have I \ndeveloped that are valuable and transferable in the workplace? What lessons have \nI learned about the value of education?\n\nSadly, over the past two years, we students have been forced to work within a \nsystem that reduces achievement to a game where strategies are more important \nthan ideas. I cannot help feeling a little cynical when I consider that the sum \ntotal of my education will soon amount to nothing more than a figure - an ENTER \nscore that will determine which percentile I fall into statewide and which \ncourses I will be eligible to apply for"
