- The SOLE is based on big questions and collaborative work using the internet and fewer computers than students.
- Teachers are still important, but they have to do something different - convert content into a question that enables learners to derive the content computationally.
- The School in the Cloud has been tested in India and has shown positive results.
- Retired teachers have been involved in the School in the Cloud to chat with children in India.
