Is new media incompatible with schooling? In a word, yes. Good two-part interview (Part One, Part Two) of Rich Halverson by Henry Jenkins. This pretty much sums it up: "Digital media provides a path to personalizing and customizing learning that is often at odds with the batch processing model of, especially, K-12 schooling. This has meant that digitally literate young people have come to understand that there are at least two living channels for learning - 1) an institutional channel, and 2) a peer-driven, interest-driven, and unregulated digital media channel. The bifurcation of learning experiences for young people is bound to call the institutional identification of schooling and learning into question in the coming years."
