A tale of 2 educations
you have a textbook that is 5 years old.
I will access up-to-date information
I will immediately know when I misspell a word
– you have to wait until it’s graded.
you’ll use a 10 year old atlas
I will explore the world using Google Earth-
-you will share yours with the class
I will create artwork and poetry and share it with the world .
I will have 24/7 access
– you have it 2 periods a week.
I will communicate with leaders and experts using blogs, email, Skype
and IM
– you will wait for Friday’s speaker.
I will collaborate with my peers from around the world
– you will collaborate with peers in your classroom.
-you must wait for the rest of the class.
I will take my learning as far as I want
