"The new classroom should teach the huge array of complex skills that come under the heading of digital literacy. And it should make students accountable on the Web, where they should regularly be aiming, from grade-school on, to contribute to a wide range of wiki projects." (Virginia Heffernan 2011)
Reaction:
I agree with what Heffernan said. Teachers should teach students with digital literacy. Use something like a Smart Board in a math class room, having the kids get up and show their work on the board. In English use tablets and ebooks for in the class room reading. Science and History have the students look up information on the web. I think with the way things are going, teachers will need to know all the technology that their students are using. Like in the music class room, have the students use Garage Band and Finale.
