John's interest in social media grows from a passion for exploring Internet technology, and with the use of new web tools, plans to promote its use in the K-12 classroom.

He is formerly a microbiologist, research assistant, and teacher, and consults in educational publishing.

"The goal is to teach kids to be discerning consumers of information and to research, formulate and defend their own views."

"Modern compulsion schooling [is] a conflict between systems which offer physical safety and certainty at the cost of suppressing free will."

John Gatto argues that educational strategies promoted by government and industry leaders for over a century have intentionally created a system that keeps real power in the hands of very few people. And, there is an enormous gulf between what is happening in the K-12 classroom and the development of educational programs in academia.

"Brian Behlendorf discussed a recent paper by John Seely Brown that described a college classroom in which screens were placed around the room to display what students were doing with their laptops. David Kirkpatrick agonized that nothing is really being done about K-12."
