International Society for Technology in Education – Learning & Leading > Feature: Teach Your Students to Fail Better
“Perhaps in the past when learning outcomes were more static, we needed students to be predictable. Tomorrow, however, we’ll need agility, divergent thinking patterns, and an ability to test ideas in messier ways. In other words, we need digital age learners to be comfortable with failure. And we need learners who know how to fail better.”

Technology Transforms Teachers Into Master Chefs of the Classroom | Getting Smart
A blog post around the analogy of teachers and master chefs. “With teachers, true expertise also includes mastery over many areas of knowledge, tools, and domains, and the trajectory from novice to expert requires study, reflection, coaching, and growth. Technology is one tool in a teacher’s toolbox. In this century, a teacher who is not adept at using technology for teaching and learning is not really an expert teacher. They may have many skills and talents and a font of knowledge, but if they cannot effectively weave technology into the process, then they are missing a key component. Any teacher who is “missing” technology, is comparable to a cook who is “missing” knives – technology is a critical tool in effective teaching.”
