An analysis of the history of technology shows that technological change is
exponential, contrary to the common-sense "intuitive linear" view. So we won't experience 100 years of progress in the
21st century -- it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at
today's rate). The Law of Accelerating Returns

“Most interesting, however, is that classroom observers noticed changes in the behavior of
teachers and students. Students were taking more responsibility for
their own learning, and teachers were working more as mentors and less as presenters of information.”
Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow Project (ACOT). 'The Impact of Technology on Student Achievement"
Teacher = Student = Teacher
We have managed, rather gracefully, far more change
than we predicted would come; it turns out that our past's vision of the future was not
visionary enough. This is often the case: reality puts prophecy
to shame.

"What we want to assess is how well prepared people are to learn new things in a non-sequestered
environment where they have access to technology tools and
social networks." John BransfordUniversity of Washington Grace RubensteinEdutopia Magazine
Schools are the "conservators" of our culture, and therefore are
instinctively conservative in what they do, the resistance comes more from the fact that our public school
system has evolved an extremely delicate balance between many sets
of pressures…any technological change is bound to disrupt…shifting certainly initially means more work
and pressure on educators, who already feel overburdened.

But resisting today's digital technology will be truly lethal to our children's
education. They live in an incredibly fast-moving world significantly different than
the one we grew up in. Shaping Tech for the Classroom21st-century schools need 21st-century technology.by Marc PrenskyDec/Jan 2006: Student Fitness, Edutopia magazine as "Adopt and Adapt".

“We need to introduce the innovation disruptively – not
by using it to compete against the existing
paradigm and serve existing customers, but to target those who are not being served – people we call
nonconsumers.”Clayton M. Christensen and Michael B. Horn“Disrupting Class: Student-Centric Education is the Future”OnCue Magazine – Winter, 2010
21st Century knowledge & information…
is not confined to the textbook
&our student’s voices can’t
be confined to our classrooms.
They won’t remember what you teach them,
they will remember how you treat them.
The Missing Banister Theory
When walking down the street, you can walk in one line perfectly without ever
falling over.Now take that same city
block, then put it a hundred stories high. You’re going to
be so focused on the fact that you don’t have a
banister, that you’re more likely to fall because of it.Kanye West & J. Sakiya Sandifer
