Christian Long brings me back to my immigrant roots.
think:lab: "The Future of Learning" Manifesto
It Ain't About the Technology. It's About the Story.
Laptops? (Yawn)
Blogging? (Yawn)
PowerPoint? (Snore)
Multi-Media Center with a Starbucks 'coffee house' espresso shot in the backside? (Daring? 21st century school? Yawn.)How about we stop talking all giddy-like about the technology. For us, it's not about the box. Not even about the iPod in pink or black. And it's definitely not about the email (psst: we don't email 'cept when old people need help).
It's about the conversation. The ricochet of words. The energy. The fact that its happening right here right now and it ain't coming back.
You tell me to turn off the game. Because you're staring at the box. I can't turn off the game. Because the game ain't in the box.
So, stop making technology such a big deal. You want laptops. I got a cell phone. And you still don't get it.'cause no matter what you spend your money and professional development time on, for us it's about being inside the game, inside the story, in real-time.
Everything else is over-priced and ready for recycling.

Mr. Aroune,
This blog confuses the heck out of me. I don't understand what point your trying to make across, and what message you are trying to convey. Mr. A please make yourself clearer about what your trying to tell us and try to use ideas from your past blogs to get your message across more clearer. Thank You Mr. A
