I read throught this, and for me it began to clear some of the fog a bit about what we're trying to get into. I think there are some interesting things pinpointed on this website.
I read Marc Prensky's article for my other class. I like the way he contrasts the two groups, especially within the frame work of the immigrants trying to educate the natives. He does a nice job describing how the two generations view each other, of course supporting the theory of why educators must change.
This article is proof that many of our grading practices are ineffective yet still being used- proof that another part of education has been unchanged for too long.
