We are just beginning to explore the potential which the computer and telecommunications tools hold to assist our children in becoming fully literate adults … To no longer be positioned as the “know-it-all” authority, but to step down from that role and say to the student “let’s find out together” takes a lot of courage.
Predictor: Rose, Kimberly
Prediction, in context:Kimberly Rose made the following statement in a research presentation at INET ’95, the Internet Society’s 1995 International Networking Conference, in Honolulu, Hawaii, June 27-30 1995. Rose was a researcher with Apple Computer’s Advanced Technology Group at the time. She was based in Los Angeles with the Learning Concepts Group under the direction of Apple Fellow Alan Kay. Rose also worked with a consortium of schools in Southern California to develop collaborative dynamic curricula using a wide-area telecommunications network. Rose remarks: ”We are just beginning to explore the potential which the computer and telecommunications tools hold to assist our children in becoming fully literate adults … To no longer be positioned as the ‘know-it-all’ authority, but to step down from that role and say to the student ‘let’s find out together’ takes a lot of courage. We will only create more powerful learning environments for our children if teachers are willing to have this courage. Many of these courageous teachers are coming forward and engaging themselves and their students in wonderful interactive learning environments. The World Wide Web offers us such an environment.”
