  • 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?

  • technological determinism,

    The internet is not amazing, rather it "destroys political discourse, economic stability, the dignity of personhood and leads to "social catastrophe.". What do you think?

    Thanks for this reference - very thoughtful and thought-provoking. Don't quite know what to 'do' with the information... a simple rubric could be to use the web the same way that Carl Rogers advises us to teach - with unconditional positive regard, congruence and empathy. Which is okay when you are still dealing with people - it gets so much complicated when we must perforce deal with or through impersonal monetised systems like Google or FaceBook.

  • Darwin was very reluctant to support movements in the late 19th-century that we would now associate with transhumanist thinking, such as eugenics and vivisection
