Classroom Applications

for 21st Century Learners

Kevin Jarrett, Technology FacilitatorNorthfield Community School

“Teaching kids how to blog, use GPS, and construct a wiki, although all valuable activities, they are not about preparing children for the future.

What it is about is helping children learn to teach themselves within a dynamic, digital, abundant, and connected information landscape.”
