2. If the only tool
you have is a
hammer, you
tend to see
every problem
as a nail.
Abraham Maslow
6. We must educate the students we have,
not the student we used to have, nor the
student we wished we had. We must
adapt to today's student, not them
adapting to us. We must adapt to their
world of today's 21st century technology.
We cannot teach like we've taught
forever anymore. We must change
ourselves to adapt to their world.
They are hyper-communicators and must
"power down" just to go to school.

49. "Schools need to think how powerful it
could be as a learning tool [social
media] to bring that engagement
outside the classroom into the
classroom…you insert a simple tool that
allows students to connect with each
other or their peers in other schools and
countries whenever they want, you just
see kids' faces light up. That's what we
saw in a class where our kids were
talking to students in Iowa."
