Good advice, I think, even taken out of context.
The FordLog: Gareth Davies on ‘Five Rules of Virtuality’:

Give the kids control and don’t lock things down;
* Stimulate idea creation, don’t turn ICT into teaching ‘applications’;
* Look at what they do with computers, don’t take the idea and impose rules and restrictions, but increase the contexts and opportunities to make it more fulfilling and rounded;
* Make kids self critical and responsible for pushing their personal standards up.
