8. IN AN EDUCATION CONTEXT
Most secondary students walk into the classroom with a
device in their pocket that has all the tools they need to learn
and complete their tasks, and offers access to the
accumulated knowledge of humankind.
And we tell them to turn that device off.

10. IN AN EDUCATION CONTEXT
“There’s been a lot of discussion among policymakers and the media
recently about the pitfalls of using technology in the classroom. Many of
these conversations are worthwhile – it’s important to be skeptical
when spending scarce dollars for public education. The problem is that
this debate often centers around the wrong question: Does technology
belong in the classroom?
continues…

11. IN AN EDUCATION CONTEXT
If we keep asking this question, we won’t make any progress. We know
that technology belongs to the classroom. Have you ever asked whether
technology belongs in your workplace? Technology is a tool that helps us
develop and apply skills we all value – curiosity, problem-solving,
persistence, collaboration, information literacy.”
