A series of chats between Stephen Heppell and Marc Prensky (the 'digital native' guy) has been posted on YouTube recently. People tend to ask Stephen some difficult questions about the use of digital technologies in the classroom, and his responses are always thoughtful. In each of these videos the two respond to a question - asked via Twitter or Facebook - things like 'What is the role of the teacher in 21st century learning?' or 'How do we encourage children to be brave, to be wrong and to ask questions?'. Stephen's and Marc's responses offer much insight, and much that is challenging.
The one I was first drawn to was Marc Prensky - How can we encourage quality storytelling in our children?
There is a lot that is interesting here, and some that I don't agree with.
