I’ve been hearing about disruptive technologies for a few years now, and I’ve even used the term myself in various presentations. I probably started using it before I knew its origin, that is, Clayton Christensen’s 1997 book The Innovator’s Dilemma . Now with Christensen’s newest book, Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns , on my reading list I decided I should read the original and draw some of my own conclusions before I read his thoughts on education.

Warning, this post is a bit nerdy. So, I already blogged bout iBooks Author and how I might use it. I was thinking about how I might be able to create my own interactive elements.

Creating Passionate Users: Why Web 2.0 is more than a buzzword
Many people hate the phrase "Web 2.0" even more than they hate what they believe it represents.In early February I presented, in French, a 90 minute story about how design thinking and the educational worlds of formative assessment, school building, curriculum and assessment strategy are all bound together. I wanted to show to the audience at Clair 2012 in New Brunswick, Canada, what can happen when these apparently unrelated worlds of technology startups, product design and formal education are bound together by leaders with foresight and an understanding of the detail and complexity of learning, amazing learning opportunities can happen. It was a joy to speak about the complexity of learning and teaching, with the time and audience who got it - it was, after all, New Brunswick teachers that taught me how to really teach through their French immersion, project-led pedagogy.

The whole integrating technology discussion that many have been chronicling of late has been sticking in my craw for a couple of reasons. First, a couple of weeks ago I had a bad teacher day while I was doing some training, the kind that really gets me pessimistic about how difficult a road this is going to be. With this particular group, it was made clear that the only reason they were in attendance was that they were getting paid for the day, that any teacher who came in during the summer and wasn’t getting paid was ruining it for everyone else, that the technology wouldn’t work in their classrooms anyway, that they didn’t have time to practice what they were learning, that, well, fill in the blank.
