Greg Whitby, Executive Director of Schools for the Catholic Diocese of Paramatta in Australia speaks of the urgent need to transform how both schools and teachers understand what they do to meet the needs of the students and realities of the 21st century. Mr. Whitby has been widely recognized for his leadership in the area of learning and teaching in a digital age.







Parenting in a society without television, toy stores, gas-powered lawn mowers, and sugar-coated cereals was easier by far. Technology has removed parent's need for children's help, the traditional means by which parents transmitted across generations the importance of work, and has left parents to guide their children as best they can through a maze of continuously available entertainment.
Betty Hart and Todd Risley, authors of Meaningful Differences in the Everyday Experiences of Young American Children
