Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

Education today is an incredible, and for many, overwhelming mix of inter-relationships, needs and connections.  One useful question is how stable are these connections and whether there is an ideal point at which progress and stability are balanced.  I have been reading William H. Davidow's, 'Overconnected', and think that there may be some genuinely useful parallels between his thinking on the impact of the internet and the current state of education.
