From Rob DeLorenzo:

Education is like a train, we have worked to make the train really efficient. It is the best train that it can be; the only problem is that the world has moved to planes. If you were to take a picture of the classroom 100 years ago and today – with regards to setup – you would see minor variations. Why are we happy to get a binder full of paper, which we may use a quarter of it, when there are web sites that contain much more powerful resources. We are paper trained teachers with students who live in a digital world.

This is an interesting story that appeared in the Toronto Star this morning - 11 Suspended for Cyberbullying.

Synopsis:

A group of students who were upset about a ban of personal electronic devices and the school dress code post comments to facebook.com about their principal. 11-19 students (depending who you ask) have been suspended, some of who, it seems, simply posted to the facebook discussion.
