 * Content: print-based -> digital information -> 'Free Agent Learner'
 * How do we create a dynamic 21st-century learning environment; why is it important?
 * Are we more concerned about test scores than educated students?

 * Mobility - 24/7 Access
 * Social Interactions for Learning (second life)
 * Education from a Student's Perspective
 * School is like taking a Qantas Flight: sit down, face forward, strap yourself in, turn off all your electronic devices; if you're lucky, the trip will be relevant, if not you'll be able to resume your life in 3-5 hours
