An expert perspective on 21st century education
What can you learn on a cell phone? Almost anything! How does that concept fit with our traditional system of education? It doesn't. Best-selling author and futurist Marcnbsp;Prensky's book of essays challenges educators to "reboot" and make the changes necessary to prepare students for 21st century careers and living. His "bottom-up" vision includes students' ideas about what they need from teachers, schools, and education. Also featured are easy-to-do, high-impact classroom strategies that help students acquire "digital wisdom." This thought-provoking text is organized into two sections that address:
- Rethinking education (including what and how we teach and measuring learning)
- 21st century learning and technology in the classroom (including games, YouTube, and more)
