teaching and learning

I wished I’d had these axioms on hand a couple of weeks ago when I was in a meeting looking at our strategic directions for technology. From Will Richardson’s blog, they’re are simple and powerful statements of future directions:

1) Our schools must be inquiry-driven, thoughtful and empowering for all members

2) Our schools must be about co-creating — together with our students — the 21st Century Citizen

3) Technology must serve pedagogy, not the other way around.

4) Technology must enable students to research, create, communicate and collaborate

5) Learning can — and must — be networked.
