5.  Lotusphere 2001—Michael Moe
 Education is the new healthcare
 IgnitePhilly 2—September 2008
 Chris Lehmann: “The Schools We Deserve.”
 Education's core purpose is to prepare citizens, not

6.  The tools, platforms, and affordances we
encounter defined our sense of what’s possible
and necessary.
 The “orthodoxy” is determined by the act of
encountering and learning new tools, generally
defined by ad hoc or entertainment-based
encounters
 Important to focus on built-in, sub-conscious biases
 Path to learning is social, but constrained

7.  Collective intelligence literacy and “knowledge
citizens”
 Digital citizenship requires new literacies, based
on providing clarity, comprehension, and the
capacity to develop personal and shared
meanings, and to share those meanings and
narratives.

participation comprised of fully-enfranchised digital
citizens.

share those meanings and narratives.
