  • Jamie McKenzie Questioning as Technology
    This article contends that questions and questioning (mindware) are critically important human technologies that might enable young people to solve problems, make smart decisions and score well on the tests of life as well all the other tests that loom in a child’s world. Without strong questioning skills, information technologies contribute little to understanding or insight. There is even some chance that they might dilute understanding and interfere with thinking.
  • Jamie McKenzie Why Questions

  • Jamie McKenzie Why Wonder
    Wondering is about entertaining and exploring possibilities. It is about hope and faith. It can also be about questioning and doubt . . . wondering why things are the way they are. We invite good things to make an appearance. We expect that dreams can make life better. We refuse to settle for less. “Hold fast to dreams,� warned Langston Hughes, “for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.�

The focus on equipment and technology rather than learning and smart teaching was a distraction from our real work, putting cart before horse and toys ahead of sound learning strategies
