School Engages Tech Generation With Digital Learning Tools

Elsewhere I had written that " don;t confiine u r children to u r learning  for they are born into different digital world. Here is a school that has moved in that direction. Here is a report on a North Carolina school district switching from textbooks to all-digital learning materials. My favorite quote is this piece comes from Mark Edwards, Superientendent of Schools in Mooresville, North Carolina: "For years we would tell students "We will prepare you for your future." But their experience in school didn't have much to do (with the future).

I would say it would be the same to say "We are going to prepare you for driving a car, so get on this horse." And the kids say "That doesn't make sense, i'm not going to be riding a horse." For more details see here
