The joy you can get from reading (for pleasure - not simply for knowledge acquisition)

The ability to concentrate long enough to read a whole book - rather than simply a text message

Good mental maths

The ability to write well and communicate ideas

Perhaps we need to look at 'the old fashioned' teaching methods in India - and learn from them!

...Optional siesta

Grading that rewards all intelligences:

- teamwork

- intrapersonal

- social intelligence etc.

Finance learning

Collaboration between schools

This might be of interest...Ricardo Semler's school in Brasil - http://www.lumiar.org.br/english/english.html

Love this Oli. What about:

This is a live lesson being broadcasted across the secure schools network

There will be 10 other teachers helping me deliver this class

There are 500 other pupils logged on from other schools who've 'dropped by'

There are 10 of our employer partners online talent spotting

There's a Google, Delicious, Youtube and Flickr feed ticker on your laptops sending you the latest links based on the tags? for this class

A podcast of this class, its feeds? and your comments will be available on the intranet at 9am tomorrow

Please rate me and this session here.

We love inventing and we love making things - and we optimistically believe that this technology will always help and make things better.

So in teaching we introduce computers, white boards, on line revision aids and dozens more and still employers bemoan the falling levels of literacy and numeracy - the fundamental building blocks of any education. Perhaps there isn't a connection - and I am just being a luddite ........

...........however some recent reports have shown that kids don't multi task very well - http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2005-03-30-kids-attention_x.htm and if they do it takes them longer to get things done and they don't perform as well.

So I hope that in 2020 there has been a real attempt to only use technology in teaching that helps kids really learn - not just graze over information and have no understanding or insight.

Looking forward to continuing the debate on Thursday.
