"Here is a compelling, rich and thoughtful vision of the future for educators, technologists and researchers that extrapolates from concrete first steps observed in innovative classrooms. It provides a framework for envisioning and pioneering what learning should become. It describes how classroom teachers, students and software designers can engage in "digital didactical designing"— participating actively in the reorganization of learning, benefiting from the rapidly growing ubiquity of information and communication. Classrooms for teaching are transformed into "CrossActionSpaces" in which the virtual and the embodied, the known and the downloaded, the social and the technical, the personal and the collaborative, teaching and learning, formal schooling and informal DIY are intertwined and synthesized."Gerry Stahl, founding editor, International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning
