Being a long-time technology educator myself (14 years in the public school system of Tucson, Arizona) I have come to learn of some wonderful technology futurists. People who speak out about the future directions that education are a valuable commodity in my mind. Pulic school education is very rooted in traditions of the past and it takes long periods of time for change to work its way through. Fortunately, technology is starting to make inroads into education and I think it's a very positive thing. More on that thought another time. So enjoy the quotes below from futurist David Warlick. And check out some of his blogs here: http://technorati.com/people/technorati/DavidWarlick
"Being educated before abundant and ubiquitous information flected to what you knew--what you could remember. Being educated in a world of networked, digital information is characterized by what you can teach yourself." David Warlick, Educational Futurist
"This will require classrooms where students invent answers and construct their own knowledge within learning experiences that are crafted by creative teachers who do far less lecturing and far more facilitating and consulting." David Warlck
