We all must be daring and courageous…

Which is the definition of
COURAGECOURAGE
Page 63
I’m back!because…

Page 64
they keep asking me these silly questions!

“Is education ready to embrace the
irresistible IT vision of tomorrow’s classroom?”
© 2013 Marc Prensky
Page 66
How the heck should I know?
© 2013 Marc Prensky
Page 67
But I do have a better question:
© 2013 Marc Prensky
Page 68
© 2013 Marc Prensky
Is education ready to have the “classroom”
be the world?
Page 69
© 2013 Marc Prensky
It’s NOT aboutbringing IT into the classroom
It’s aboutnot having
“traditional classrooms”at all, thanks to IT
Page 70
© 2013 Marc Prensky
Physically,
We still herd our kids around,and into little rooms
Page 72
© 2013 Marc Prensky
Based, for the most part,
on“date of manufacture”
Page 73
© 2013 Marc Prensky
00:00:00
A “herd”(i.e. a class)
Page 74
© 2013 Marc Prensky
“Herding”is a silly wayto educate
00:00:00
Page 75
Because what’s going on
intellectually is this:
© 2013 Marc Prensky
Page 76
© 2013 Marc Prensky
Page 77
© 2013 Marc Prensky
Our strategy
has beento rein their attention in
Page 78
© 2013 Marc Prensky
But technology
wants to do the opposite:
Page 79
© 2013 Marc Prensky
i.e. to reach outAnd contact the world!
Page 80
© 2013 Marc Prensky
That’s the tension going on:

A fightFor the kids’ attention

In my life outside school I have to constantly think
and make decisions.
In school they tell me what to do—I just have to
follow their directions.

Is that you gettheir attention
NOT by closing theclassroom down

or even an academicworking without technology

A far better wayto educate everyone

Is to connect all our students,teachers and citizens as

The networkwill soon become

Because while human brains do many things well:

Page 165
• Using trillions of data points
• Dealing with extreme complexity
• Predicting the future
• Going beyond our senses
• Understanding others’ thoughts and intentions
• Holding multiple perspectives simultaneously
• Separating emotional and rational
• Remembering everything
There are things brains ARE NOT GOOD AT:

• improve our communications• improve our relations and our

there ARE NO
“best practices”

Our job is toInvent and share
better ones every day

VIDEOIs our 2nd most important
technology tool—HAVE THE KIDS USE IT
EVERY DAY!

about succesful practices,
and use them to learn
