Time for another TED talks experience. The ICT advisor (Gavin) suggested this talk to me and it's both fascinating and timely given what we are doing in our schools technology wise.
I notice that the Labour Party in Nu Zild is advocating laptops or tablets for every student. Michael Fullan would say that that is the wrong driver and I'd agree with him. Improving teachers and teaching is much more powerful than handing a new tool to a student.
Larry Lessig in this talk makes some powerful points about what we are doing to our 'kids'. It's worth watching until the end!

I also came across this Larry Lessig talk where he explores the same theme.
