I am stuck here as a digital immigrant, not a native, trying to wrap my mind around Will Richardson's keynote on "Shift". I must admit I am somewhat a "man", or should I say "a woman without a country". I am torn between the ground of the natives and the immigrants. It is a slippery slope. I have been a reader of Will's blog for a couple of years and had a pretty good idea what we were in for. He was passionate and motivating yet, as I looked around the room I could tell only a small percentage of the audience was really getting "it". Sadly, education seems to me like this Quote of The Day from Quentin D'Souza's Blog.
Quote of The Day

From Rob DeLorenzo:
Education is like a train, we have worked to make the train really efficient. It is the best train that it can be; the only problem is that the world has moved to planes. If you were to take a picture of the classroom 100 years ago and today – with regards to setup – you would see minor variations. Why are we happy to get a binder full of paper, which we may use a quarter of it, when there are web sites that contain much more powerful resources. We are paper trained teachers with students who live in a digital world.
