experiences with technology can
mean that students find the presentation of school curriculum less challenging, less

‘Squeeze’ text
The competition was for re-writing the Lord's Prayer for the mobile phone, using just 160 characters or less. It was judged for Ship of Fools by the Churches' Broadcasting Conference. The task itself was not easy. The traditional version of the Lord's Prayer is 372 characters long, so whittling it down to 160 characters meant cutting the prayer by more than half but without losing anything important.

PLEs are not only personal web tools and personal learning networks. PLEs
are much wider than this, taking in experiences and realia, as well as learning through TV, music, paper based materials, radio &
more formal contexts.
Learning content is not as important now as where (or who) to connect to, to
find it.
PWTs are any web tools, (usually Web 2.0) chosen
by learners to support their lifelong learning.

Positive Deviance“Somewhere in your organization, groups of people are already doing things differently and better. To create lasting change, find areas of positive deviance and fan their flames.”

“The goal of education is to enrich the lives of students while producing articulate, expressive thinkers and lifelong learners that are socially responsible, resilient, and active citizens of the world. Education is about teaching students, not subjects.”
