There is a shift in the way we will be using the Internet. It will involve teachers and students generating content and sharing it publicly or by invitation. One way we have started is by podcasting and blogging.

 The Illinois Institute of Design's Research Project (funded by the MacArthur Foundation) on Schools in the Digital Age reports:
 "Kids lead high tech lives outside school and decidedly low tech lives inside school.  This new
'divide' is making the activities inside school appear to have less real world relevance to kids.
The learning experiences of the kids outside school are increasingly more relevant to modern life than what is learned inside school...Kids are increasingly motivated and engaged by what they learn in out-of-school programs and in their virtual online lives, and mechanisms for capturing and enabling them must be found."
