Prince, K. Re-Imagining Teaching Roles "The imagination economy has to happen in the United States, because we are no longer the knowledge economy. We are no longer able to compete against China, India, and other countries that are learning the dates and formulas. The imagination economy needs to create learners who are imaginative and creative and thinking. – Robert Clegg, Tabula Digita We need to move beyond the world-is-flat mindset. It’s not about being globally competitive. It’s about making students intellectual, thoughtful learners. This world is not about us any more; it’s about us all acting together collectively. I’d like to see technology serve as a mechanism for bringing people together across nations and cultures. – Lucy Gray, University of Chicago Center for Urban School Improvement"
