Bill Tucker reviews two papers released by the Fordham Institute on the impact of digital media on teaching, Teachers in the Age of Digital Instruction and School Finance in the Digital-Learning Era. The first, he writes, "outlines the varied roles that teachers play, including helping with motivation, social and emotional support, and stretching critical thinking and analytical skills. It concludes that the future is a much more differentiated field, with a smaller number of higher-paid, more empowered teachers acting in teams with a variety of specialized and lower-paid support personnel." Oh hey, that sounds familiar. The second paper "details how current school funding systems conflict with new forms of digital learning that cross school, district, and time boundaries."
