“For the first time in history, our jobs as educators is to prepare our students for a future that we can not clearly describe.” David Warlick
One thing is clear. We don’t  have the option of turning away  from the future.  No one gets to  vote on whether technology is  going to change our lives.  		Bill Gates  The Road Ahead
Every generation of teenagers embraces the  freedoms and possibilities wrought by technology in ways that shock the elders.

If your students can  the answer, then you may be asking the wrong question.
Rather than running the risk of having our students become "walking encyclopedias," we need to teach them how to think creatively.  (Sternberg, 2006)

  1. Video games teach children what computers are beginning to teach adults--that some forms of learning are fast-paced, immensely compelling, and rewarding. The fact that they are enormously demanding of one's time and require new ways of thinking remains a small price to pay (and is perhaps even an advantage) to be vaulted into the future. Not surprisingly, by comparison School strikes many young people as slow, boring, and frankly out of touch.
