Chapter 4 Quotes

1.) Writing down ideas makes them easier to evaluate and challenge, and thus to be modified and refined over time. - pg. 51

This quote represents the challenges technology poses to a student when posting online, for instance on a blog.  However this challenge is a good thing.  They will have to more carefully consider their position and also the outcomes of someone reading it.

2.) There were many innovations that were introduced over the first 100 years of universal schooling. - pg. 65

We are on the dawn of a new day in education.  So I think there are many innovations that will be introduced in the near future.  And while I may be resistant to them now, it will only be a matter of time before I forget that they even were "new."  This is something I need to keep reminding myself of.

3.) Something about education will have to change. - pg. 65

Will it?  Do we as teachers?  Will the students?  Or will we all change together.  There are many questions I have about this idea, but I guess I will have to wait and see what happens in the next few years.
