What are tangible next steps for us?
what’s really happening in Education?
we are going to “disrupt” education
like we did with consumer internet
our education system is “broken”
Claims Challenge
education is not a market
our education system is “strained”
are we losing sight of the goal?
Teacher: Does iCreate work on the iPad?
Me: No, not yet, why?
Teacher: Well, we just got 10 iPads, but we don’t have wireless in the school and we’re also not really sure what to do with them yet.
Me:
technology used as a vehicle to
actively engage in the classroom

conversations in the classroom
it’s NOT about stop-motion...
...it’s about providing a vehicle for rich, meaningful interactions
