We've moved away from the font of all knowledge, the sage on the stage, to the guide on the side - a facilitator. However, many of today's students are bringing their own, new, knowledge to the clasroom. How do teachers respond to this?

"I love Lumosity! It is fun and very challenging! Great to wake up the brain cells! I have seen progress since I started the training in February 2010. Keep up the great work!" - Gale Kovach "Lumosity is one of the coolest things I've found and I'm on the internet like 6+ hours a day."

This is a very nice tool to use for additional exercises to topics on programming. It allows you to choose a language, such as PHP. Each time exercises are completed it monitors and keeps a list of what you have completed. We could use this for students and track their progress. Disadvantage: When you make an error on the exercises the error messages are not very helpful. Does not provide feedback that can "scaffold" the student out of the error. Nice tool and definite one for use next year.

Not quite sure that I agree with the banning of paper-based books. To ban something is quite harsh!

I think that a combination of the two is still preferable. I strongly advocate freedom of choice. Although I understand Prensky's arguements, I cannot agree with them 100%
