    1. Critical thinking and problem-solving 2. Collaboration across networks and leading by influence 3. Agility and adaptability 4. Initiative and entrepreneurialism 5. Effective oral and written communication 6. Accessing and analyzing information 7. Curiosity and imagination Someone makes a point in the comments. "Dr. Wagner states that "we have no idea how to teach or assess these skills." How about the idea of 'letting learners watch someone already possessing these skills, exercise these skills'....what happens if teachers can act like students - 'showing them how to gain the knowledge, using resources made available, from someone who possesses the knowledge already', rather than attempting to teach such knowledge.

  • Ovum analyst Joe Dignan has a word of caution for those hoping to grab a piece of the action. "Companies produce videos of glass houses of lovely people doing Minority Report-style stuff, but show me how this will help people sitting in their council flat 20 storeys in the sky?"

      Should this be "user" determination?
  • Technological determination:
  • technology ‘produces new realities’, new ways of communicating, learning and living, and its effects can be unpredictable
  • ...22 more annotations...
  • Social determination
  • technology is determined by the political and economic structures of society. Questions about ownership and control are key in this orientation
  • technology is shaped and takes meaning from how individuals and groups choose to use it
  • Which of these perspectives do you lean towards in your understanding of the relationship between technology and pedagogy? Can you point to instances in society or in your own context where this stance is necessary or useful?

  • technology could solve the three most pressing problems of education: access, quality and cost
  • in all parts of the world evolving technology is the main force that is changing society
  • a model technological determinist position,
  • what observations can you make about his utopian arguments about education? What currency do they continue to have in this field?
  • the orientation here is clearly dystopic
  • ‘administrators and commercial partners’ as being in favour of ‘teacherless’ digital education,
  • ‘teachers and students’ as being against it
  • these divisions have never been clear, and they certainly aren’t now.
  • Why does Noble say that technology is a ‘vehicle’ and a ‘disguise’ for the commercialization of higher education? How can we relate this early concern with commercialism to current debates about MOOCs, for example? And how are concerns about ‘automation’ and ‘redundant faculty’ still being played out today?
  • the consequences of digital education
  • What kind of determinist position do they take? To what extent are they utopic or dystopic visions of the future? Why have the ideas they represent been so readily taken up and distributed within all educational sectors?
  • metaphor of the native and the immigrant
  • Prensky warns ‘immigrant’ teachers that they face irrelevance unless they figure out how to adapt their methods and approaches to new generations of learners.
  • how does the language he uses work to persuade the reader? Who are ‘we’ and who are ‘they’? What associations do you have with the idea of the ‘native’ and the ‘immigrant’, and how helpful are these in understanding teacher-student relationships?
  • What is being left out of the story of the internet here, and from what position is this story being constructed?
  • technological determinism,
