We don't know what we want.
Twitter is without a doubt the best way to share and discover what is happening right now.
iPad: A magical and revolutionary product at an unbelievable price.Dell: The power to do more.Constructing Modern Knowledge: The best educational event of the year.Lenovo education: Learn how to ignite learning, enhance efficiency, and have fun.Acer: Empowering people.Smart: A new frontier of collaborative learning has arrived.InterwriteMobi: Collaboration at its finest.SanDisk: Now you can take it all with you. And when we say ''all'' we mean everything.
To see what we "need" is to see how we see ourselves. And it's frightening.

I get the allure of capitalism.
I get that these are just slogans.
What I don't get is why they work so well in a profession ostensibly charged with teaching others how to think for themselves.
