Steve Hargadon: Web 2.0 Is the Future of Education
-
They may be "digital natives," but their knowledge is surface level, and they
desperately need training in real thinking skills. More than any other
generation, they live lives that are largely separated from the adults around
them, talking and texting on cell phones, and connecting online. We may be
afraid to enter that world, but enter it we must, for they often swim in
uncharted waters without the benefit of adult guidance. To do so we may need to
change our conceptions of teaching, and better now than later.

Lasagna and chips: Grown up digital
-
The book is based upon a research program which involved interviews with close
to 10,000 people in 12 countries. Despite that good basis, I grew a little tired
of the examples of the children of Tapscott, though they are great
illustrations. The Tapscott kids are not examplary for a whole generation. I
have the feeling there are more differences between the use of internet within
the 'netgeneration' that could have been explained in more detail. The book is
one big attempt to prove the point that the netgeneration is really
different from other generations (like my own). OK, I agree, but how about
differences within the netgeneration?

Column 2 : Grown Up Digital
-
From a business standpoint, the real value of Grown Up Digital is the chapter on
the Net Generation in the workforce, covering how the expectations of those
entering the workforce have changed, and how organizations need to change (in
some cases) to accommodate this. -
I enjoyed Grown Up Digital, but I took it with a large grain of salt: in part,
because economic times have changed dramatically in the few short months between
writing and publication, and in part because I think that the average Net Gener
may not be as wired as Tapscott’s kids.
