and high school kids say they’re bored 50-70 percent
of the time.”
-Students power down and turn off the lights of
education, so . . .
“Give students the opportunity to use technology
in school -like blogs, interactive web pages, or
YouTube - and connect them to the world.”

“We believe that Web 2.0 technologies will define and be
defined by the skill requirements of the 21st century
workforce. It is time to understand whether models have
emerged for using these tools that are superior to
traditional classroom teaching alone and what are the
best approaches for the practitioner to implement them.”
Bob Wolf, of The Boston Consulting Group, and a researcher on
