Scott McLeod argues against teaching kids in traditional ways that don't incorporate new technologies and collaborative learning styles. He sarcastically lists outdated practices like banning computers, social media, cell phones and online writing. Instead, he advocates teaching kids skills like reading online, creating and sharing content, and connecting with others through collaborative tools and social networks to prepare them for future success.
