I just got to see my *favorite researchers* Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey present.
Douglas said:
"I don't understand why we have all of our computers in one place. We would never have a pencil lab. Why do we have a computer lab? Computers should be everywhere."
Nancy said:
"Every time I make a rule for my students to follow, I check it against this question: Does this rule make their world smaller?" She went on to explain that if schools' consistently make rules that protect students from the world instead of rules that prepare them to make decisions about how to be critical consumers of that world, we're in a sense following the lead of institutions like prisons that minimize the world for their constituents. Huh.
