We Need Schools... Not Factories
This week I found a very interesting article in the Huffington Post. Sugata Mitra winner of the TED prize states; "Unlocking the power of new technologies for self-guided education is one of the 21st century superhighways that need to be paved." He gives a history of why and how education needed to evolve, and then why it must change again to meet this future technology based world. Kids, teachers and parents must evolve with technology. The Internet and the cloud must be embraced by the education community. This is a must read!

Martin - thanks for sharing this article. I too agree with this article and found it interesting. I think this can be a great tool to support furthering the use of technology with admin, parents and other stakeholders. This can be a great way to start the discussions that need to happen to further our students education and keeping up with technology in our schools. Thanks!
