This document discusses disruptive education and the changing digital landscape. It covers several topics: (1) how digital natives and immigrants view technology differently; (2) how Bloom's taxonomy is evolving digitally; (3) the importance of diversity of opinions and learning networks over specific knowledge; (4) how social media allows mass and participatory communication and encourages self-reflection; (5) the concept of disruptive innovation in education from new edutech companies; and (6) questions about where people currently sit within this digital transformation of education.
