This week’s Lick:

I get upset when people say that the point of the laptops is that its allws children to learn “all the time, everywhere.”

Of course it’s true -- children with laptops can learn all the time everywhere.

But the statement insulting to children. Whether they have laptops or not, children are learning all the time wherever they are. Maybe not what you want them to learn – but that’s a very different story.

It's not only your kind of learning or school's kind of learning that counts as learninjg.

What we really want to think about is how to connect the very good learning (and thinking) that children know how to do with more areas of knowledge.
