  • The textbook, The lecturer and the classroom are three pillars of modern-day schooling that date back hundreds of years.
  • There’s just one catch – these problems don’t exist anymore. In the 21st Century, the Internet has ushered in an online learning environment where information is abundant, teachers are plentiful and learning is global.
  • To put it simply – we need new pillars for learning.

  • Pillar #1: “I’m only one of my students’ teachers, but I’m the most important because I teach them to connect to all the others.” Implication area: Instruction
  • Pillar #2: “My students should learn from me how to learn without me.” Implication area: Curriculum
  • Pillar #3: “My students’ knowledge lies not only in their minds but in their networks.” Implication area: Assessment

  • This paper offers a critical perspective on popular and political understandings of young people and digital technologies – characterised by notions of ‘digital natives’, the ‘net generation’ and other commonsense portrayals of expert young technology users.
  • The specific label of ‘digital native’ derives from a series of articles written by the US technologist Marc Prensky since 2001.
  • 4 sense thinking is uncritical, episodic, and disjointed, but it is also powerful because it is taken for granted”. Thus whilst the past ten years have undoubtedly witnessed significant changes in the technological practices and predilections of children, young people and young adults, it would seem sensible to reconsider the status of the ‘digital native’ description as a prima facie account of young people’s lives in the early twenty- first century. In particular, there is a pressing need to develop and promote realistic understandings of young people and digital technology if information professionals (especially librarians, teachers and other information specialists) are to play useful and meaningful roles in supporting current generations of young people. Against this background the present paper now goes on to question the accuracy and primacy of the ‘digital native literature’ in reflecting the realities of young people’s actual engagements with digital media and technology. IMPLICATIONS OF THE DIGITAL NATIVE DISCOURSE We should first examine in closer detail the broad body of work that can be said to constitute the digital native literature1, particularly in terms of how the conditions, capabilities and consequences of young people’s technology use are portrayed. In this sense, there are a number of differing practices and dispositions that are associated with the digital native condition: i) T

  • But I am saying my kids don’t (won’t) need teachers any more to get them to pass the test.
  • If nothing else, the new iPhone’s integration of Siri is a clear indicator of how far technology has come in terms of understanding semantic cues and interactions.
  • If it’s all about test scores and “student acheivement” measured by test scores, immersing kids into Knewton-type environments is by far the easiest, cheapest, path of least resistance for the system’s current definition of “learning.”
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • This is why we should all be feeling an acute urgency right now to take back the definition of what “learning” really is in a world filled with content and teachers and personalization.
  • Knewton doesn’t develop learners. It develops knowers.
  • We’re in serious trouble if that’s all we value.
