The World Has Changed—So Should the Way You Teach
This thought-provoking book argues that education has failed to
take into account how much the world has changed since the
information technology revolution and that education requires a
totally new mindset to become relevant. The authors describe
the new social practices and new literacies associated with a
digital world and offer suggestions on where change should
occur.
