What is an educated person?– .... we need to change our pedagogy

What are the roles of technology?– ...technology is absolutely critical to

realizing this new pedagogy

How transition to that future?– ...technology can play a catalytic role

What Is Educated Individual?

Industrial, Product Economy– Classroom reflects a factory– Breed for punctuality, orderliness,

respect for authority– Teach to pass a test

Or, To Put It In The Vernacular

“When I think back to all the crap I learned in high school, it’s a wonder I can think at all”– Paul Simon, Kodachrome Camera

Need NEW Type of Workers

Knowlege-work, Process Economy– Teach for understanding & to take action

Kids should be able to... (Gov. Engler, MI, Republican)– Solve hard problems, without being led by

the nose– Learn new things on their own– Communicate with their co-workers

"For the next generation or two one must expect literacy to include some letteracy, since our culture's past is so connected with expression through writing. ...it will not follow that learning the letters should be the cornerstone of elementary education."– Seymour Papert, Wired, 1993– "Obsolete Skill Set: The 3 R's/Literacy

and Letteracy in the Media Ages"

Technology Has Had ZERO Impact On Education, So Far

“I believe that the motion picture is destined to revolutionize our educational system and that in a few years it will supplant largely, if not entirely, the use of textbooks.”– Thomas Edison, 1922
