In the "Information Age," information is the raw material that we work and build with, and the Internet is the quarry from which we mine that information. "Raw Materials for the Mind" delivers a compelling philosophical examination of why our classrooms must change to prepare today's children for their tomorrow, and the part that new technologies play in shaping this revolution. The author also clicks in to many practical ideas for using current technologies in today's classrooms to create powerful and relevant learning experiences for our students.
