My Digital Footprint

John Seely Brown

The web has just begun to have an impact on our lives. As fascinated as we are with it today, we’re still seeing it in its early forms… My belief is that not only will the web be as fundamental to society as electrification but that it will be subject to many of the same diffusion and absorption dynamics as that earlier medium.

Welcome

On this site you will find:

  • Digital tools & techniques for teachers & librarians
  • New media & how to integrate it into today's learning
  • Ideas for parents starting the education journey

This website, in its various iterations, has been an organic presence since 1995. Like a child, it's growing and maturing on the complex journey of change in education today.
