Publisher's Summary
When educators approached the digital age at the turn of this century, they did so with some fear and trepidation. Producer Bill Drummond, himself a professor of journalism at the University of California, Berkeley, took the plunge for his own coursework, and discovered the many settings where education was beginning to shift. He visited a collaboration between the College of Education at Cal State Hayward and a high school in Logan California where students were working on research papers and turning them into documentaries. Students participating in the famed Algebra Now project in Mississippi demonstrated their mastery of graphing calculators as seasoned journalist Charlie Cobb, who was writing a book on the subject, talks about how the technology empowered the students. Larry Pryor, a faculty member of Southern California University, discusses the need for educators to communicate with the generation raised with technology. These early adaptors show how the role of the teacher took shape in the digital age.
