WOW!!! Where do I begin to explain how wonderful this book is?! Prensky's Digital Natives textbook is absolutely inspriring, engaging, and definitely the next up and coming thing! After reading I realized how much Education is changing in our modern technology world, and we need to get on board! However, it was comforting to know that if we are ever in a situation where we are limited to technology, it isn't a problem. It's actually a great opportunity for students to predict what they would do with technology. This results in higher quality thinking, and that's what we want our students to do daily!! Now, let me tell you about Prenksy's thoughts and opinions on Parterning Pedagogies. I'm sure that might be a new word to most people, but do not worry, you are going to LOVE it! Teachers+Students= Partnering Pedagogies. The students become the center of attention, and the teacher is a guide on the side that guides the students to use higher-quality thinking, skills, and goals. We are implementing this into the classroom slowly, and I am already seeing wonderful results! This is incorporated into my whole-brain best teaching strategies to empower the students, get them engaged, and get them thinking!! E-mail me with any questions you have about our text book, Partnering in the classroom, or anything else! I will be sending home information with your students later on the week as well!
