This is an incredible book… for a limited time only.
This is an incredibly informative book and provides great insight into the aspects of the current US education system that continuously reiterate “that’s the way we’ve always done it”. I first got this for Audible but found it so informative that I bought the book as a reference book for my own work. I think that the major drawback of this and many other reference books that criticize the status quo is that they have a useful lifetime, until the status quo changes. One of the things that is missed is the current paradigm shift in education technology due to the Covid Pandemic.

EXCELLENT AND INFORMATIVE
This is a very insightful book on how to teach the digital generations and the skills that students need in the 21st century to really thrive. Highly recommend for all teachers K-12 and also higher education faculty!

Why do you do the things you do?
This book makes you question why you do things the way you do them. It also made me frown at the saying “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” Just because it works, that doesn’t mean it’s the most effective way. Education is the evolution of ideas, and to keep up with the times, we much change with it.

A read for any teacher, but especially veteran teachers of 10-plus years
I certified as a public school teacher in 2014 after nearly two decades in much more flexible learning environments.Things have changed radically in these last 5 years.This book encapsulates many of the changing trends and makes very reasonable predictions about what’s to come.If you’re a teacher, you have no doubt heard MANY of the terms you will encounter in this book. I know my PDs for the last 5 years have been swimming in ‘tech integration’ ‘whole student learning’ ‘visual literacy’ ‘just in time learning’ and the like. I also happen to live with students born in 2007, early 2010 and end of 2010. I observe these learning styles in the real world as much as I do in the classroom and I feel the conflict with TTWWADI.If I can compare it to pop culture from my early era, I feel like I’m watching an endless VHS vs Betamax debate when no one realizes DVDs are on the horizon and streaming media thereafter.Yet at any moment we have to be invested in SOMETHING.I LoVE many of the suggestions in this book and have tried a number in the last couple of years prior to reading this book because newly trained teachers are being explicitly instructed on these topics.The message is far more than ‘adults are fuddy duddies.’ Human children literally learn differently than at other times in history. Public education is fighting a losing battle to adhere to old opinions about well behaved students and classroom management when the entire societal and global message fed to them through their PREFERED learning platforms is: disrupt and innovate.This shows up in the classroom as ‘behavior’ problems in many forms. However, teachers aren’t having a complete conversation about what they are dealing with. This book provides an excellent structure for that conversation.That said, it IS overwhelming to think of the massive paradigm shifts we need in order to effectively teach 21st century students.I really wish I had set up a book group around this because it is best served as a shared read than on your own.

This book came out in 2019
There is a lot to be said about this the usefulness of this book – it does present a lot of good ideas about how education could work better. However, it came out just before the COVID-19 pandemic started – so it could stand to be updated. What I find interesting is how much things changed during the pandemic years. How online-learning technology was slapped together almost over-night. While it wasn’t carefully planned out over time – but more of We need this now! sort of implementation. I imagine that there is a lot of data on the practical application was gathered – both on the teaching end as well as the student side of things.Given the current issues taking place in public education there is a real need for change – and not just with the use of technology. The whole education system needs to be rebooted.

Okay, not great
I had to purchase this for a grad school class. It’s an easy read — my only complaint is that the author’s don’t take into consideration how education became what it did, nor does it take into consideration low economic class students. It’s not horrible — I still learned a fair amount.

Interesting read on evolution of education
I have been in the field of education for over 20 years and I have felt the changes that technology has made in the work I do and in how students engage in learning. How we receive and use information has fundamentally changed education and what it means to be educated. This book brings together research about how these changes have impacted attention spans, creativity, how information is used (specifically, how the goals of students has changed), and what is coming up next on the horizon.This is a fascinating read. It is well-researched and written in a very easy to read style that is a refreshing contrast to some of the dense academic reading that I am used to on this topic. This makes it accessible for any teacher at any point in his/her career. And rather than complain about the changes in the education system or to the students, this book presents clear ways to use these changes to optimize learning and reach a broader range of students. A very good read.
