Will Richardson reflected on his experiences at NECC. As he did so, he picked out a few choice quotes from those who responded to the event.

Consider some foundation rattling statements, like the point of integrating technology in education:

So, it is not a question of whether these technologies add value somehow to education, but the reverse, can education add value to the communications and information technologies of our present day world, and its future?

Or the purpose of schooling:

Educators often think that school is the point, when it needs to be the path.

But the best one of all I think is:

It is the job of education to alter itself to prove itself of value to the world which now exists.

Richardson linked them all up nicely in his blog. His entry and the comments that follow are a great read!
