No, we're not advocating burning books in favour of computers. It's about striking the right balance. We cannot ignore the potential of Web 2.0 in creating powerful learning networks for exchanging ideas, knowledge. Abe Lincoln used the technology of his time: books and quills. I'm sure that wouldn't be the case if he were alive today.

Thanks for a very inspiring talk about "pedagogical DNA" - so true! Would it be ok to upload your video to DotSUB in order to make Danish subtitles? Or would you prefer to do it yourself? Thanks!

have none of you watched the MATRIX?

i want to be MORE human, have more human connection

NOT mediated by machines (or $ spent on products which have a MASSIVE environmental cost)

The 21st century is a time when have to say slow down technology & re-appreciate our Humanness....

Let us control the technology not the technology control us...

Unfortunately we will keep lowering the standards and do away with gateway assessments. Some call this diploma milling,but others call it no child left behind...at least until they have to perform on the job. It's called kick the can down the road.

Agreed. The way of the future isnt a focus on skills needed in an industrial job market. We need students who can be innovative, adaptable, and who are familiar with technology. We need students who are social and productive simultaneously.

Beyond that, it would also be helpful to integrate democratic principles into every day school governance. Community involvement and awareness. Familiarity with the political process, etc.

Its no longer enough for kids to sit and listen, test and forget.

WOW!! I hear what you are saying, there is a mismatch between the teacher and student.

I love Technology...I just don't have the technology in my classroom!  Give me the technology and I will show you that my DNA is ready for the 21st century pedagogy!
