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.

Science teaching solving real world problems

At King Middle School, Maine, USA students take an integrated approach to learning science through real world problem solving.  The closing student comments speak volumes about the learning expectations of today's students - "science is building, science is doing, science is creating ........ usually in school you learn about the things in the world that are bad, .......I think that school shouldn't be just about learning about problems, it should be about solving them."
