Editor's Notes
- Julie: as the students worked in teams with others throughout the world.Vicki:
- Vicki: If we look at arguably the best education system in the world, the Finnish teachers pick books and customize lessons as they shape students to national standards. "In most countries, education feels like a car factory. In Finland, the teachers are the entrepreneurs," says Mr. Schleicher, of the Paris-based OECD, which began the international student test in 2000.
- We’re not making copies in schools, we’re making originals.
- The technology misconception is that it is not about the technology.
- The successful are increasingly individuals who take risks, are good at what they do, and are persistent. This is what we need to create in our classrooms.
- This is what our student must be. But what must our teachers be?

- The story of the first 'cyborg' flesh and bloodNeil Harbisson, the first human to be officially recognized as a man / machine.Due to his illness in xonsiste that fails to recognize the colors alone, he walks with a device that turns colors into sounds for him so he can know what color things, objects with which it intersects on a daily basis.He began walking with a backpack which contained a computer and now behind only one chip in the head, which transposed into everywhere, for that utlidade.http://www.luuux.com/node/3560531
