Re the Penguin article: I still prefer to read on paper, without the distraction of advertisements & menus popping up as I scroll down. I am very Web1.0. Sharyn's questions: 1.students will change jobs on average much more than we have done. They will be more in contact with the rest of the world, and part of more communities. 2.Educators will have to embrace new technologies in order to engage students' interest. 3. Education will have to remain the same in some ways: students will need to be taught how to think, communicate, make decisions based on information.... 4.I need to become more confident & skilful at using technology. My present focus is on interactive whiteboard use in the Japanese classroom context. I think it will be very useful for motivating students, practising vocabulary, broadening their cultural knowledge, giving a sense of community and an appreciation of diversity...
