Let's start at the beginning. Before we can figure out how to change education for the better, we might want to ask just who are we trying to educate?
Don Tapscott gives an eye-opening look at who is currently in our classrooms in Grown Up Digital. Reading this has changed the way I think about my students.

About Me

- "If you're working on a problem you can solve in your own lifetime, you're not thinking big enough." ~Wes Jackson, founder of the Land Institute "At every crossway on the road that leads to the future each progressive spirit is opposed by a thousand men appointed to guard the past." ~Nobel Laureate Maurice Maeterlinck "Our job is not to be the opposition to student ideas, but to be flexible, living, breathing, organic and responsive to students’ ideas to help them embrace their dreams so they can channel their enthusiasm positively rather than cut if off because they don’t conform to a lesson plan.” (Willis, 2006)
