..and it's because we have all had so much experience with classrooms, teachers and textbooks as our vision of education. I think that part of what we need to do to reflect on how we learn after school, and translate that into environments and pedagogies for 21st century learning. - dfw
Added lines 87-88:
It's a great question, because it is our tendency to default back. Again, the key is to make our mission to educate children into a learning lifestyle -- not to be teachable.

I guess that this is a metaphor as well, I've enjoyed learning about pervious concrete. When talking about literacy, I describe how our information environment has become increasingly
