The Christian Science Monitor ran this commentary by Tom Regan on how students in middle and high school are outpacing their teachers when it comes to understanding the potential of and using the internet for learning and doing research. The article addresses a study, The Digital Disconnect, recently released by the Pew Internet and American Life Project. Regarding the study, Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet & American Life Project, is quoted: ‘Educators have a choice: Either they need to adapt or they will be dragged into a new learning environment.’ Both the study and article are about two weeks old, but an interesting read nonetheless.”
