MythsSetting the record straight.

It’s about the technology.It’s about the learning...always the learning.

Kids should spend the whole day in front of a computer.

It’s about choosing the right tool, at the right time, for the right reason.

Teachers need to know how to use the tools before the kids use them.Having fluency with a basic set of tools is all that’s

needed. The kids will do the rest.

Using technology comes after

the real work.

Technology can support and deepen the real work.

We’ve been doing it wrong all these years.

You were doing it right...it’s just that what was right then is not always right now.

Kids are experts with technology. Kids know how to game, text and Facebook. They don’t necessarily know how to use technology to learn.

Once you know how to usethe tools, you’ve “arrived”.

One thing I know for sure...

You have to be a 21st Century learner firstbefore you can teach 21st Century learners.
