Abstract

In this paper we review two classes of emerging technologies - sustaining and disruptive. We argue that sustaining technologies, while still valuable, will not be able to deliver dramatic changes in education. However, emerging technologies that are disruptive, e.g., Web 2.0 and mobile, converged, handheld computing appliances, have the potential to truly impact teaching and learning - and empower our youth in ways that we simply can't even imagine yet. Thus, we advocate for a personal model of computer usage in schools - 1: 1 - each and every child has his or her own personal computing device, 24/7.
