"Preparing students for jobs that don't exist yet" - simple reasoning reveals that you cannot prepare someone for something unknown.

The question is not about how learners can use these wonderful technologies, it's about how schools will change because of them. Letting go of tradition is difficult for individuals and, I would argue, next to impossible for institutions.

Cutting out any form of technology in this day & age is going against the grain. The future is a cyber one. The world is becoming one. To not be on top of any & all social/media outlets is limiting your potential.

It's obvious to me that the more one spends in an enclosed environment that he is being cut off from a culture that's doing & becoming the complete opposite.

Don't hate on what you don't understand but rather pick it apart & find out why it's successful.
