I would like to acknowledge Martin King, who set my thought processes going down this road when he commented on the 'Learning is learning' post. Unported License.

One of the first books I ever read about digital media was Nicholas Negroponte''s Being Digital. One of the things that most struck me about Being Digital, was the distinction Nic made between atoms and bits. The atom represents physical space, content, objects, while the bit represents the digital, virtual world.

Present-day students, who interact with a steady stream of digital media throughout the day, are generally unsurprised by video in the classroom; if anything, they expect it. Video plays an important role in all of these alternative modes of learning experience (Brame, 2015) and will continue to do so with future developments.

I recently wrote about how libraries are adapting to the digital age. Libraries are shaking off this image, and embracing new technologies and approaches to support learning in the 21st Century. It is better, I was told, to have up to date digital Britanica, than out of date text books on the shelves. In Library 2.0

We will witness the introduction of many new digital tools and technologies. Most of today's jobs rely either exclusively, or to a large extent, on information and communication technology of one form or another. It follows that children of the future will need even more digital literacy skills than they have now.

Apart from the surge in technology use, and the new skills teachers need to adopt, implement and harness new digital media and tools (a subject for another blogpost), I would argue that little has changed in our expectations of good educators. In this post I'm not going to dwell on digital skills. Unported License.
