I appreciate the fact that it discusses preparing students for life outside of the school walls. It important to empower them with abilities that are required in our ever changing world.

I love the idea that the teacher isn’t the only person who can answer questions.  Student empowerment is them helping their fellow students.

Students love their phones!  I would love to be able to show them how to harness the phone’s power to LEARN and CREATE not just play and text! There’s so much awesomeness there! What can we do to show them the greatness that they hold in their hands?

I've always been really stuck trying to figure out how we can let students pursue their own interests when we have to teach a specific curriculum. I think this would be a great step forward.
