10. Twitter and Facebook and group meetings and
newsletters are all TOOLS. Tools matter, because tools
impact the way you interact. You don’t need to use every
tool, but every tool you use you must use well. —Seth Godin
29. “Students today depend too
much upon ink. They don’t know
how to use a pen knife to
sharpen a pencil. Pen and ink will
never replace the pencil.”
National Association of Teachers, 1907

137. I make them criticize.
I make them apologize and mean it.
138. I make them write.
I make them read, read, read.
139. I make them spell definitely beautiful,
definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful
over and over and over again until they will
never misspell
either one of those words again.

and if someone ever tries to judge you
by what you by what you make, you give them this.

To better prepare students for the future there will be more emphasis on key competencies like:
. . . With the world outside of school
We can’t wait for the decisions of others – it is go time . . . now
All the necessary infrastructure is in place
Do old things better
If I'd have asked my customers what they wanted, they would have told me "A faster horse.” – Henry Ford
It is access to the benefits of a digitized world that is the greater goal. For our students to thrive in this world, they need to have ACCESS and DIRECTION.
To be clear, one-to-one computing is not the solution to any challenge – it may, though, be part of the answer to going forward.
If we think by placing an Internet appliance in a student’s hands alone will create a more creative, innovative, or more intelligent student, we are missing the point. Like the paper and pen of the last generation, it is the “oxygen” to breathe in a digital world.
Won’t this further divide our students (and teachers) into haves and have-nots?Given that it is unlikely any grand plan will come together to support all students and staff with technology, implementation will be incremental.
If we believe technology is crucial for students moving forward, we need to find a way for all students to have a base level of access.
Complex problems often have a simple solution
External inventions will continue to dramatically impact what we do, and we have no control over it!
There will be teachers who continue to push the boundaries, who will do amazing and edgy stuff – teachers always have and always will. This should be encouraged, but it is not the base expectation.
Focus on a web environment / space for learning / personalization that allows a common structure that changes the norm of how we do business
Have high expectations for leadership with your administrators and librarians
Find your “simple thing” that changes the norm – it could be:1. Digital writing2. Digital content3. PortfolioNote all 3 fit into the content, learning, assessment triangle. Need to find the one sticky piece to expand learning.
Link technology to physical activity and the arts – it is not just about language arts – integrate, integrate, integrate! (High Tech High examples)
Not allow technology to solely report to the business side of the organization
More staff (and not just students) will be bringing their own devices to workDistricts will own and store lessTension between formal and informal learning will increase; what matters most is what happens in informal settings – the true learning!Digital content will increase / devices will get cheaper

Moving from a space to a plan – how will we manage personalized learning in the digital space?Use the Khan Academy map of an individual plan – layered into assessment and demonstrations
Link technology to physical activity and the arts – it is not just about language arts – integrate, integrate, integrate! (High Tech High examples)
Start at Grades 4–7 (maybe 6-8 if a middle model) – spill both ways over time – the “sweet spot” extends from 4 – 10 depending on your school organization
Tension between formal and informal learning will increase; what matters most is what happens in informal settings – the true learning!
