Richardson's 10 Questions

I usually read Will Richardson's blog about once a week and I had quite a bit to get through this week. His thoughts on Educon has been vast. On Feb 10th, Richardson asked for his loyal blog readers to go through a number of questions that he came up with while he was at the conference/conversation and asked the readers to rank them. He had over 200 responses and on Feb 15th,he gave us the top 10:

1. How do we support the changing role of teacher? 116
2. What is the role of the teacher? 110
3. How do we help students discover their passions? 110
4. What is the essential learning that schools impart to students? 109
5. What is the purpose of school? 102
6. How do we adapt our curriculum to the technologies that kids are already using? 100
7. What does and educated person look like today? 97
8. How do we change policy to support more flexible time and place learning? 97
9. What are the essential practices of teachers in a system where students are learning outside of school? 92
10. How do we ensure those without privilege have equal access to quality education and opportunity? 92

I think that if you look at these questions, they are asked a lot in education today, not just in relation to technology and education. His goal is to address each question in a blog posting for the next couple of weeks. I am looking forward to reading about his thoughts on these questions.

I have a feeling that these questions may lead to more questions! He has already started and if you have time, I think that you may find his thoughts very interesting.
