What would I like to learn?

A simple question, yet a question that requires quite a bit of thought.  After viewing Sir Ken Robinson's discussion on schools killing creativity, I really want to learn how to give students enough freedom to express themselves, while still keeping the programs leashed to the curriculum.  My other thought that came from the series of videos was how students are so fluent in technology, yet have no idea the seeds they are planting.  Their digital self needs to be given with the same amount of respect they give their physical self.  Stressing the concept of a digital footprint is key, but getting them to think a month in advance is hard enough without even introducing the consequences of their digital shenanigans years from now.  It truly is a brave new world.
