While I think that the article had some great points that we as educators need to change our way of thinking as it realates to technology, I think that some basic informaiton still needs to stay constant. While our students have grown up in the digital age and are “natives” to it, we as educators are the “immigrants” we need to keep up with them. However I still think that some basic knowledge needs to be acquired such as learning the multipication facts or even basic grammar skills.
There needs to be a “happy” medium where both eras can merge and it will take innovative teacher willing to change to meet the needs of the students to keep them actively engaged in the learning process.
At first reading I though that the use of some of the terminology was harsh–but as they were explained it made more sense and I began to agree with some of the points of the article.
