Great Ideas from Canadian Leaders – Digital learners

For the first time in history, children are the authorities and adults are the learners with respect to the information and communication revolution of which we are all in the midst. Today’s elementary and high school students are part of the smartest generation in history. They communicate at the speed of light and absorb new technologies with eagerness and ease. They’re unlike any previous generation. Yet this digitally brilliant demographic is still being taught in an educational system based on an industrial age model.
