14. “'What can you do?' has been replaced with 'What can
you and your network connections do?' Knowledge itself
is moving from the individual to the individual and his
contacts.”
--Jay Cross, Informal Learning
16. "Our learning institutions, for the most part, are acting as if
the world has not suddenly, irrevocably, cataclysmically,
epistemically changed-and changed precisely in the area
of learning.
--Cathy N. Davidson and David Theo Goldberg, "Future of Learning
Institutions", 2009. http://bit.ly/X52mZ (.pdf)
17. “If you think that the future will require better schools
you’re wrong. The future of education will call for entirely
different learning environments.”

19. Right now, schools are:
Time and place. Filtered. Teacher-directed.
Standardized. Push oriented. Content-based. Group
assessed. Linear. Closed. Sept-June. Local.
20. Learning will be (already is):
Mobile. Networked. Global. Collaborative. Self-directed.
Inquiry based. On demand. Transparent. Lifelong.
Personalized. Pull.
31. "But there is no doubt that five years from now, when my
children are teenagers, they will be comfortable living in
public in ways that will astound and alarm their parents. I can
already imagine how powerful the instinct to worry about
predators and compromising photos will be. But it will be our
responsibility to keep that instinct in check and to recognize
that their increasingly public existence brings more promise
than peril. We have to learn how to break with that most
elemental of parental commandments: Don't talk to
strangers. It turns out that strangers have a lot to give us
that's worthwhile, and we to them."

36. “Kids learn on the Internet in a self-directed way, by
looking around for information they are interested in, or
connecting with others who can help them. This is a big
departure from how they are asked to learn in most
schools, where the teacher is the expert and there is a
fixed set of content to master.”
--Mimi Ito
MacArthur Foundation
38. "Young people's internet literacy does not yet match the
headline image of the intrepid pioneer, but this is not
because young people lack imagination or initiative but
rather because the institutions that manage their internet
access and use are constraining or unsupportive -
anxious parents, uncertain teachers, busy politicians,
profit-oriented content providers."
--Sylvia Livingstone
Author "Children and the Internet"
39. If it was just about learning,* shouldn't we be teaching
them to talk to strangers?
*Which it isn't...
46. "The traditional two-page resume has been turned into a
'personal productivity portal' that empowers prospective
employers to quite literally interact with their candidate's
work."
--Michael Schrage
Harvard Business Review
58. 21st Century readers and writers need to be able to
"manage, analyze and synthesize multiple streams of
simultaneous information."

59. "It's not a matter of information overload; it's 'filter
failure.'"
--Clay Shirky

61. We live in a "pull" information world, not "push."

72. "The model of 21st century learning described in this plan
calls for engaging and empowering learning experiences
for all learners. The model asks that we focus what and
how we teach to match what people need to know, how
they learn, where and when they will learn, and who
needs to learn. It brings state-of-the art technology into
learning to enable, motivate, and inspire all students,
regardless of background, languages, or disabilities, to
achieve. It leverages the power of technology to provide
personalized learning instead of a one-size fits-all
curriculum, pace of teaching, and instructional practices."
75. “In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the
learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with
a world that no longer exists.”
--Eric Hoffer
76. "The success of universal schooling has led us to
identify learning with schooling. These new
alternatives will make us rethink the dominant role of
K-12 schools in education as children and adults
spend more time learning in new venues."
--Collins and Halverson in
Rethinking Education in an Era of Technology

education to anyone, anywhere."

81. With that reality, the question for schools now
becomes: how are we preparing our students for
lifelong, self-directed, independent learning?
92. "Big problems are rarely solved with
commensurately big solutions. Instead, they are
most often solved by a sequence of
small solutions, sometimes over
weeks, sometimes over decades."
--Dan and Chip Heath, "Switch"
93. You need a "growth mindset."
--Carol Dweck, "Mindset"
95. Are you sharing, co-operating, collaborating and
collectively acting with others?
96. "Increasingly, those who use technology in ways that
expand their global connections are more likely to
advance, while those who do not will find themselves on
the sidelines. With the growing availability of tools to
connect learners and scholars all over the world —
online collaborative workspaces, social networking tools,
mobiles, voice-over-IP, and more — teaching and
scholarship are transcending traditional borders more
and more all the time."
