EDUCATING GEN WI-FI: HOW WE CAN MAKE SCHOOLS RELEVANT FOR 21ST CENTURYLEARNERS

Book ID/图书代码： 06001015B79262

English Summary/英文概要： How our school system is failing 21st-century kids and what needs to be done about it "I am amazed at how much the world has changed today from when I was a student. the problem is that schools have not changed as rapidly as the world we live in..." Just a generation ago, school was a simple affair: students learned from set texts, graduated and got a job. Now, when almost every child has access to vast networks of information through computers, phones and social media, there is no longer a wrong and right way to learn, no longer a single model of teaching, not even a familiar classroom environment. So where does that leave students and the people in charge of their education? Greg Whitby has spent 30 years teaching in schools and studying the way they cope with rapid change. Described as the most innovative educator in Australia by tHE BULLEtIN magazine, Greg argues in this, his provocative new book, that schools are often too slow to respond to change and too quick to condemn the new. But in order to engage students, it is vital that educators re-think everything they have been taught, including their own role as the sole authority. EDUCAtING GEN WI-FI throws open the debate about education and offers up some thought provoking questions and answers.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 随着互联网的不断发展，学生的学习方式和学习内容正在发生翻天覆地的变化。而传统学校的教学模式已经无法适应这一变化。

本书的作者在学校教了30多年的书，一直以来都在研究学校是如何应对外界的飞速变化的。这位被称为“澳大利亚最具创新意识的教育家”的作者在这本极具正极性的新书中认为，学校应对变化的速度太慢，对新事物的排斥又太轻率。为了激发学生的学习兴趣，教育者们必须重新审视他们所学到的一切，以及他们作为唯一权威的这一传统角色。本书针对教育现状提出了许多尖锐的问题，并阐述了作者自己的观点。（LYR）
