From Don Tapscott's latest blog post (original here), a bit about what we're doing in New Brunswick: "It's heartening to know that a tiny province like New Brunswick is giving teachers plenty of opportunity to change their mode of teaching. Teachers can tap into government funds to create new and innovative programs. They can work with teachers around the globe to come up with new ways of teaching that make the most of the technological tools. Teens in New Brunswick are encouraged to meet teens around the globe in online forums and collaborate with them on projects. Technology, in other words, is only the tool. The real work is creating a new model of learning -- one that fits the 21st century." Now there's always going to be people who think that it's some kind of socialism, but I have confidence in the people here who are genuinely striving to give New Brunswickers the education they deserve.
