The Schism Between School and the Digital World of Kids
Thanks to Renee Orrichio for spotting this YouTube video that eloquently depicts the gap between traditional education and the world of the web. These kids write and read, but they do it with blog posts and text messages. They remember those facts that they actively search out, but not always what the teacher tells them. How does this bode for the classroom as we know it? Should school remain a separate world run on its own time, while kids live their lives in Internet time?
