Module 2: “Why School?” and the Connected Self in Education | Petra's LIBE 477B 951 Summer 2013. After reading Will Richardson’s book it is clear that fundamental shifts need to happen within the current education system. My first teaching position at an Inner City School in London, England I will never forget being given one pencil per child with the expectation that this was to last until Christmas.
Thankfully changes have happened but we need to do more to embrace ICT and ensure that students have the skills necessary to create and navigate in this digital world. Richardson discusses this world vision being “co- created” by educators who understand the important roles that technology and the Web have in this. He sums this up with one word- “discovery” . I feel that there are Educators in my district and in my school that are embracing this new vision and are working with students on this path of “discovery”. I do agree that there are also teachers who are not willing to review their practice. Here we are a decade on and these are still current issues.
