Today’s students aren’t just consumers of information, they’re producers

Marc Prensky — Teaching Digital Natives: Partnering for Real Learning
[But] there is a huge paradox for educators: the place where the biggest educational changes have come is not our schools: it is everywhere but our schools.

Key design principles
• To support simple and effective use of ICT by the school’s community, inside or outside the school.
• To be a natural complement to all other ICT resources: computers, internet access, interactive whiteboards, digital contents, etc.
• To allow progressive development of e-skills, from the basic to more advanced, or new ones: collaborative editors, ..., email, blogs, wikis, chat, private social networks.
• To support the communication, collaboration, sharing, anchored on the real school privacy rules.
• To promote the school-as-a-community model, informal learning, social learning, creativity and innovation, thus helping reduce the digital divide.
