I recently completed an online book study of __Teaching Digital Natives: Partnering for Real Learning__ by Marc Prensky. It's fantastic! He encourages teachers to move from being the "sage on the stage" to the "guide on the side" and allowing students to play a larger role in their goals and learning. He has a great list of the nouns (technology tools, for example) that change radically and quickly, and verbs (critical thinking, etc.) that students have always and will always need. It would require a rather large shift in pedagogy for many teachers, but the engagement of students would make it worth the effort! Cool! ~dodie
