article about John

Read an article about John as a 'leader in education' in the January 2010 issue of Smart Interactive Classroom education.smarttech.com download pdf at Download this issue
John is quoted as saying "Learning is in the doing. We have to make students makers rather than consumers." "The curriculum," he states, "is just many paths to the same destination. ICT can be used to make knowledge accessible, celebrate the differences among students and provide the tools students need to actively drive their own learning."
That’s why Davitt created an online program called the Learning Event Generator, a tool that pairs disparate ideas to “nudge teachers and learners out of their comfort box.” He also co-developed an iPhone application called The RAG (Random Activity Generator) to help teachers spice up their lessons.
