  6. Education needs transformation… “Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school” – Einstein "In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad." - Nietzsche © Steve Wheeler, University of Plymouth, 2008 Source: http://www.etni.org.il/quotes/education.htm

  7. Education needs to be transformed… "Learning is what most adults will do for a living in the 21st century." – Perelman "I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think." - Socrates © Steve Wheeler, University of Plymouth, 2008 Source: http://www.etni.org.il/quotes/education.htm

  15. The need for transformation… “Generally, teachers do not use ICT at all, or if they do, it is often reluctantly, and in a fashion that falls short of its full potential. This hardly represents a transformation of the way we learn.” -Wheeler © Steve Wheeler, University of Plymouth, 2008 Source: Wheeler, S. (2005) Transforming Primary ICT, p 1

  16. Rhizomatic Learning ““A rhizomatic plant has no centre and no defined boundary; rather, it is made up of a number of semi-independent nodes, each of which is capable of growing and spreading on its own, bounded only by the limits of its habitat.” © Steve Wheeler, University of Plymouth, 2008

  17. Rhizomatic Learning ““In the rhizomatic view, knowledge can only be negotiated, [and is] a personal knowledge-creation process with mutable goals and constantly negotiated premises.” © Steve Wheeler, University of Plymouth, 2008 Source: Cormier, D. (2008) http://davecormier.com/edblog/

  18. Web 2.0: the Social Web “The social web is transforming the way people use the Internet to do business, access information and connect with each other. It has revolutionised the way we are entertained, and altered forever the way we learn”. © Steve Wheeler, University of Plymouth, 2008 Source: John, P. & Wheeler, S. (2008)
