    "It is problematic that there are so many assumptions about how just because a young person grew up with digital media, which in fact many have, that they are automatically savvy," Ms. Hargittai says.

  • It is not about having fun while learning something; it is about being engaged while learning it.
  • Interactive content is not necessarily inquiry-promoting content — boasting several animations and interactive buttons for the user to click-and-explore does not mean that it is able to get students thinking deeply and posing questions to seek clarification for understanding, or to apply what is taught (in that piece of content) in new situations
  • Put simply and in the context of the flipped classroom, simply forcing students to view a lesson at home before a lesson in class, or rewarding those who do, just won’t work.

But this also means that students will need to commit close to two times the amount of time in official lessons for any given topic: once inside the classroom (lesson) and another at home watching the lesson presentation.

  • To curate, historically, has meant to take charge of or organize, to pull together, sift through, select for presentation, to heal and to preserve
  • The preservation and organization of content online is now largely the responsibility of the individual in highly personalized information spaces
  • Across all levels of education today, students enter the classroom with a certain level of familiarity with digital tools and platforms (Prensky, 2001; Ofcom, 2010; Rosen, 2010). The notion that this familiarity translates to a heightened level of technological competence has been contested at all levels of education
