The world has moved ahead adopting new technology, schools have not been able to keep up.

How do we keep up and take the best of the new web technologies and adapt them to education?

Personalization via adaptive software, Long Tail individual interests and needs in education, use wikis and blogs to develop policy and curriculum.

Educational software consortiums or open source apps that provide free what we now pay huge amounts for.

Wikis for text books, data stored online so it is available to students and staff 24/7.

Bridging the "digital divide' and schools as virtual constructs not bricks and mortar.
