A while ago Clive Thompson, writer for Wired and The New York Times Magazine paid a visit to my classroom. He spent the day observing and talking with students as part of his research for a book he was working on. It was a fun day - blogpost about it is here.
Clive's book, Smarter Than You Think, is now out. What Clive has discovered is that social media and technology are making kids smarter. You can read about some of his discoveries in this Globe and Mail article, The Dumbest Generation?
Congratulations, Clive, on your new book. I am looking forward to reading it.
