Jukes, McCain, and Crockett combine years of experience in education, as teachers, administrators, media specialists, and consultants, as they explore the new digital landscape and the profound implications that it holds for the future of education in the U.S. The authors provide teachers and administrators with an examination of the gap between the life experience of students today and that of their parents and teachers, summarize findings from current neuroscience and psychological research describing how the digital generation's cognitive processes are being rewired and reshaped, discuss ways that educators might reconcile these new developments with current instructional practices, and suggest classroom strategies suited to the learning preferences and communication needs of digital learners while simultaneously honoring traditional assumptions and practices concerning teaching, learning, and assessment.
