Description
Sheninger theorizes that current methods of instruction are not keeping up with the digital world that children of today live in; instead, children are required to learn in formats and contexts that are unfamiliar to them, and therefore do not lead to success. He guides educators in creating sustainable change by transitioning the learning culture to one that is familiar and makes sense to the youth of today. The book illustrates how traditional school cultures have successfully transitioned their learning cultures in this way, despite many challenges, emphasizing technology and makerspaces.
