Why should we use technology to support learning? Where does the
responsibility lie to prepare young people to be active and
successful cybercitizens? Can we go on confiscating pupils'
smartphones indefinitely? Authentic Learning for the Digital
Generation is a vital examination of young people's use of personal
devices, online creative communities and digital gaming. It calls
into question the idea of the 'digital native' and shows clearly
that the majority of young users need help and support in order to
benefit from the rich learning potential of personal, mobile and
online technology use. Written by a leading authority on the role
of digital technologies in education, it looks in detail at the
practice and implications of learning using personal devices,
collaborative online spaces, learning platforms, user generated
content and digital games. In particular, approaches to solving
problems, building knowledge, manipulating data and creating texts
are examined. It offers clear strategies, a vision for what effects
on learning we might reasonably expect when children are given
access to different types of technology, and explores the
challenges of managing these practices in the classroom. Authentic
Learning for the Digital Generation offers careful analysis at a
time when there is much discussion about young people emerging from
school unprepared for the world of work and often struggling to
manage their personal relationships as they are exposed to strong
content and harsh criticism online. It considers what we know of
childhood experience in a digital world and offers ways in which
schools and teachers can embrace the opportunity presented by
ubiquitous ownership of connected, digital devices to enrich and
deepen learning.
