73. Video games teach
children what computers
are beginning to teach
adults--that some forms of
learning are fast-paced,
immensely compelling,
and rewarding.
- Seymour Papert

74. The fact that they are
enormously demanding of
one's time and require new
ways of thinking remains a
small price to pay (and is
perhaps even an
advantage) to be vaulted
into the future. - Seymour Papert

75. Not surprisingly,
by comparison school strikes
many young people as
slow, boring, and frankly
out of touch.

99. “Gifted means you have abilities to do stuff others may not be able to do, even if they are not
easy. This tree is growing in the shade under a step….that’s not easy.”

100. “As a gifted learner I feel that I am different;
I am a leader; and I am powerful!”

101. “We all have an impact on the world.
Although we’re small, someday we
will do something great. It means to
be inspiring, creative, helpful, and smart.
Although being gifted has its problems,
Being gifted is very special.”

102. “Giftedness is
being different in
your own way and
to capture
beautiful moments
in life for
something cool.
Then your
differences will
shine!”

103. “Giftedness
means you can
be talented in
some things but
not at others;
you swing back
and forth at the
things you are
good at and the
things you are
not.”

104. “Being gifted is like
flying in the sky;
free to learn.”
