School is about learning to work in collaborative environments while developing the crucial social skills that help students to become positively functioning members of society. How will this be achieved?

Does our current workforce of teachers have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to effective teach online? Might teachers who are excellent at face-to-face teaching be pushed out of a job? Will we need to drastically retool how teacher education is handled?

There are students that won't pay attention or do any work in a school environment. How will they be motivated enough to do their work online?

The physical school building can be a place of refuge for students living in abusive or otherwise unstable households. Does moving away from physical meeting spaces hurt or help these populations?

There are many more elements involved that have caused education to become stagnant (unions, school year, testing overdoes, etc.).

Much of what makes the brick and mortar classroom problematic are the approaches and methodologies that come along with it - how do you make sure those don't simply get carried over to a digital environment (and in so doing lose the advantages of the traditional classroom wouldn't gaining any of the benefits of the new format).

Technology, in its various forms, can serve to level the educational playing field in many ways. However, using it as a springboard for addressing the achievement gap is problematic when we consider who has access and familiarity with technology.

Why look at education as something that has to happen in one place, during a set number of hours and days per year? Why not a more fluid approach that can combine the best of elements such as technology-driven solutions, home-based studies, brick-and-mortar stability, and social networking and mobile tools?

One of the obstacles we face in leveraging the transformative potentials of technology for learning is limiting our conversations to conferences "about technology." We need to consider how more educators outside of edtech circles can become aware of technologies uses to support learning and personally involved with those uses.

If you were able to build a school and design the curriculum for the school what would it look like?

With standards for all types of knowledge, we have very few standards for experiences. Should students be expected to experience and learn alongside students from other cultures and countries as part of an effective education in the 21st century?

What is more detrimental to the future of our students? Brick and mortar schools or teachers with mental/professional rigor-mortis? Historically, which has hurt students more? The absence of the interactive white board of the absence of a professional, expert teacher force?

In other words, why do you think we can't be more like Finland, Japan, or Singapore?

With an emerging educational paradigm that promises differentiated instruction in a learner driven framework with data-driven decision-making as a founding principle, what will the role of the teacher be in the learning process? Are teachers becoming irrelevant? Or are highly skilled teachers becoming more important to the learning process?
