- 2. Are You an old school or a bold School?
- 3. Bold schools are steeped in cultures where everyone, both educators and students, are seen as learners first. To be fully able to seize the opportunities that access provides, the adults need to be engaged in the learning process as much if not more than the kids in our classrooms. Bold schools are innovating and inventing in the classroom and curriculum, poking the box of traditional education in ways that make sense for kids.- Are You an Old School or a Bold School (Richardson)
- 4. Right now, we need bold schools, not old schools. By that, I mean we need schools to take serious steps to not only reinvent themselves, but to step out and advocate for a new, more meaningful definition of what learning means for our students, one that goes beyond simply “higher student achievement” or “increased student performance.”-Are You an Old School or a Bold School (Richardson)
- 5. Three Realities Facing Schools • Reality #1- Web has fundamentally undermined the main premise upon which our schools and systems were built • Reality #2- Society, specifically the two-income family, would be hard-pressed to adjust to millions of school-aged kids staying home to take courses online • Reality #3- Individualized, online learning environments will do a better job of delivering test-passing content and skills to our students than classrooms will. What is our value in light of the challenges and opportunities that the Web now brings to education?”
- 6. NMC Horizon REport • The abundance of resources and relationships made easily accessible via the Internet is increasingly challenging us to revisit our roles as educators in sense-making, coaching, and credentialing. • The world of work is increasingly collaborative, giving rise to reflection about the way student projects are structured

- 22. Why The iPad? The ‘agile’ space now created by the introduction of the iPad, although tablet style devices have been around a while, has yet to be proven as educationally useful; indeed some are not convinced that there is any need for another ‘space’ in learning technology. However, many of us disagree with this view and believe products such as the iPad will be central to how many people learn in the coming years. This agile space has many of the attributes associated with handheld and portable devices whilst also creating new and innovative ways of using technology. It adds a level of flexibility which has been absent until now. For example, whilst the iPad won’t exactly fit in most pockets, it is very easily carried from one place to another and it won’t take a large heavy laptop trolley to trundle 15-20 iPads from one classroom to another in a school setting. Conversely, it offers the screen size of a small laptop/netbook which is significantly larger than a handheld device, whilst avoiding the traditional form factor of a hinged-screen laptop.

When he turned two, his language, cognitive ability and fine motor skills were diagnosed by a developmental specialist as being at least 12 months behind. Then Noah got an iPad. Four months later, his language and cognition were on par with his age level. His fine motor skills had made significant leaps.- Mashable
