Key Question

Rather provocative Scott.



Dangerously Irrelevant: Another key question

If individuals at home can see the transformative effects of digital technologies, and corporations can see the transformative effects of digital technologies, why can’t schools? Are they just incompetent, dunder-headed organizations compared to other institutions or is something else going on? In other words, why WOULDN’T schools see the same transformative effects of technology that we’re seeing in most other sectors of society?

Thanks for the link! I didn't mean for it to be real provocative, but rather a discussion starter. We need to start asking ourselves these kinds of questions if we're to get at the cultural, structural, technical, and other barriers that are inhibiting schools' transition to the 21st century. I think the comments to my post have been great. Good stuff...
