57. "Schools need to think how powerful it could be as a learning tool [social media] to bring that engagement outside the classroom into the classroom…you insert a simple tool that allows students to connect with each other or their peers in other schools and countries whenever they want, you just see kids' faces light up. That's what we saw in a class where our kids were talking to students in Iowa." Chris Lehmann, principal of the Science Leadership Academy (SLA) in Philadelphia http://www.technewsdaily.com/teachers-embracing-social-media-in-the-classroom-0509/

62. If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail. Abraham Maslow

63. We must educate the students we have, not the student we used to have, nor the student we wished we had. We must adapt to today's student, not them adapting to us. We must adapt to their world of today's 21st century technology. We cannot teach like we've taught forever anymore. We must change ourselves to adapt to their world.They are hyper-communicators and must "power down" just to go to school. http://teacherlingo.com/blogs/sharingtechnology/archive/2008/02/23/using-youtube-in-the-classroom.aspx
