The Future is Now

We currently have technological tools available which can revolutionise education. We have readily available processing power that makes multimedia a reality. We have interconnectivity that allows collaborations across the world. We have students and administrators and parents who are eager to engage technologies.

Yet we still do not know much about what learning is in a digital environment, and many of us have been so busy mastering the newest tools that we have lost some time in thinking about this.


This talk will provide a learning-centric view on emerging technologies, suggesting ways in which the grand opportunities might be harnassed to change what we can know. Discussions of ongoing work within the Learning Technology Group at Apple Computer, Inc. will be used to exemplify this perspective.
