Chapter 9 Quotes

1.) The convergence of peer and popular culture through technologies presents possibly the largest threat for schools and parents. - pg. 125

I picked this quote because it's interesting.  No where else in the book is it directly attacked like it is here.  I'm not sure exactly how this convergence is dangerous, but it is apparently so.  I'm still not convinced, however this is something I'd like to explore more.

2.) This is the time for technological visionaries to act. - pg. 127

What a resounding quote!  Very inspiring and re-affirms the fact that we are indeed on the edge of a new era in education, and we should not be afraid to act and be adventurous, because there is nothing to lose.

3.) We need strong leadership from innovative educators to make sure that the new system embodies our society's critical goals for education. - pg. 127

Again, this loudly proclaims the fact that education needs to remain a mainstay for our society.  And that while it might change or grow, the core of what it is, needs to remain the same.
