The authors present some extremely useful ideas for how to work with students who are very comfortable using current technologies.

This book made some very good points, and had some interesting ideas for incorporating technology and 21st century ideas into the classroom. I did not like however, the polarization of people as digital and non-digital. As a young teacher I grew up somewhere in-between these two generations and believe that there is more of a spectrum to technological knowledge than the authors account for. I also thought that the book became very repetitive as it progressed.
Brought up some interesting points but greatly over-exaggerated the reluctance of teachers to embrace modern technology and its implications. This weakened an overall good argument.

All teachers and teachers to be should read this book.
I have to admit, by the end of the book I found it hard to disagree with the authors about using technology effectively in the classroom. However, I still think that their overly-dramatic exposition of "what kids are like today" was unnecessary and inaccurate.
