-><span style="color: #900;">''Don't mention it. But we need to rethink the teaching of the creative arts. Because, as I said, we need to be pushing the arts for the very same reasons that we're pushing STEM. It's a huge part of how we provide for our wants and needs, global, locally and personally. Creative arts need to be about communication -- how do I best express this idea, this preference, this position? How do I do so in a way that is going to effectively convey the idea and also be compelling?

-><span style="color: #900;">'' An we do it for the very best of reasons. But we need to come to respect their 'native' information experience and understand it. We use to complain about their IM speak way of typing with acronyms and symbols. Think about it. They created a new grammar that is perfect for this form of communication that will almost certainly be a part of their future -- and they did it collaboratively. We should be in awe!

-><span style="color: #900;">''But I will repeat something that I probably said in the keynote, that technology should not be our primary focus in rethinking education. It's the information. How do we use networked, digital and abundant information to craft new and relevant learning experiences for our students.

-><span style="color: #900;">''You know, if you think about it, it always has been. Part of being a painter was the chemistry involved in making just the right color and just the right glisten or reflections of light. But a huge part of this that we must hold on to and do a better job of teaching is good story telling. The problem with television is not the clarity of the picture. The problem with television is good story telling.'' </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'>

You really hit the crux of the problem with technology. How do we use it to facilitate learning?
