Will "pocket information" change education more than "pocket calculation" did?

To what extent do you think "pocket calculators" or "pocket calculations" have changed how kids learn school math and the specifics of what they learn? My take on this is they really didn't. Kids in Virginia can use calculators on the state math tests for all parts of the test except "computation and estimation," but they rarely do because they are not accustomed to using calculators as part of learning to do math and most of the questions are more recall than application any way. How do we get beyond rote memorization of math facts and even being able to group numbers together in various "families" and leverage "pocket calculations" to change what kids do to master a new kind of mathematics that will open globally significant doors for them? Why do we "teach" fractions every year? How many times do kids encounter area and perimeter? What will it take to eliminate unnecessary redundancies and how can we leverage the ubiquitous pocket calculation tools to do this?

Given the little impact I believe pocket calculations have had on education, what can I do to ensure pocket information (mobile devices with access to Google and Wikipedia and you name it) has a greater impact?

I was eating my lunch in a teachers' lounge at an elementary school the other day and someone asked me a question. I said I didn't know but I could find out, pulled out my phone, and Googled it right then and there. I said, "With Google and Wikipedia on my hip, I don't have to remember **** anymore!" The teacher asked if she could quote me on this and we all laughed and then I talked about the pocket calculation vs pocket information challenge. The laughter stopped as the teachers reflected on their own classrooms. Can we take this on?

How do we shift so kids are not consumers of information and content but they are sifters and evaluators and remixers? How do we shift so kids no longer spend their school days at knowledge and comprehension- they spend their days at evaluation and creation? What will it take? What role might "pocket information" play in this evolution?
