..."the simultaneous personal and public experience of using all of the tools at the teacher’s disposal to tear down walls, collaborate with each another, and question the traditional role of technology in the classroom"?

...access to the skills and experiences needed to become a full participant in the social, cultural, economic and political future of our society?

School 2.0...
It’s about understanding a world in which connections and communicating with others is at the foundation of how we learn.

School 2.0 needs to be about creating knowledge, analyzing information, and evaluating both.
