“I believe that the computer presence will enable us to so
modify the learning environment outside the classrooms
that much if not all the knowledge schools presently try to
teach with such pain and expense and such limited success
will be learned, as the child learns to talk, painlessly,
successfully, and without organized instruction. This
obviously implies that schools as we know them today will
have no place in the future. But it is an open question
whether they will adapt by transforming themselves into
something new or wither away and be replaced.”

Seymour Papert

“What can you do has been replaced by what
can you and your network connections do.
Knowledge itself is moving from the individual
to the individual and his contacts.”

Jay Cross


Networks are the new classrooms.

PLNs allow us to
“design our own learning.”


NCTE Literacies


Literate 21st Century readers and writers must:

• Develop proﬁciency with the tools of technology
• Build relationships with others to pose and solve
problems collaboratively and cross-culturally
• Design and share information for global
communities to meet a variety of purposes
• Manage, analyze and synthesize multiple streams of
simultaneous information
• Create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multi-media
texts
• Attend to the ethical responsibilities required by
these complex environments


“Network Literacy”


“Create, navigate, and grow
personal learning networks in
safe, effective, and ethical ways.”

on the Internet.”
