Great comparisons between 'digital immigrants' and 'digital natives'. See also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c05E6kyHu8E
Image #1 Chariot Racer:p.124 - 'harnessing power'. We hope that this title generates an evocative image of a team of horses drawing a carriage, with each animal working with the carriage driver, travelling
towards a common goal or destination ... We also intended that it should convey a sense of momentum of change and to encapsulate the debate about whether education is being driven by, or is it driving, technology towards educational transformation.
We could extend the metaphor further and ask what extent the carriage driver is in control and what skills he or she requires, or whether he or she is merely 'holding the reins'.
p.129 - None of use can predict what the world will be like in the future ... We ... can be certain that those who learn how to harness technology effectively will be best prepared to meet its challenges.
Image #2 The Swamp:p.125
... the interplay that exists between learners, teachers, technology and the curriculum ... is not only complex and with many layers, it also play out in what Schon (1986) calls the 'swamp' - the often murky and messy scenarios of everyday teaching and learning, in which little can be quantified and where much is unpredictable.
Image #3: Digital Literacyp. 127
Digital literacy as 'new literacy' or 'second orality' (Ong, 1982). See also the work of Ferris (not Bueller) and (not Van) Wilder (2006).
P.S. I REALLY like the above image. For more of the same see: wordandimage.wordpress.com/category/made-by-me/

'Image a world in which every single person is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we are doing.'
