If kids can access information from sources
other than school, and if school is no longer the only place where
information lives, what, then happens to the role of this institution?
“Our whole reason for showing up for school has changed, but
infrastructure has stayed behind,” said Diana Laufenberg, who taught
history at the progressive public school Science Leadership Academy
for many years. Laufenberg provided some insight into how she guided
students to find their own learning paths at school, and enumerated some
of these ideas at SXSWEdu last week.
