Broadening Horizons
The document discusses the evolution of gamers and learning in the 21st century. It suggests that new thinking is needed in education, including viewing learning as a process rather than isolated classroom training. It recommends borrowing from other disciplines, having instructors act as facilitators rather than lecturers, thinking visually, and jumping into projects instead of lengthy preparation. The document encourages using techniques like storytelling, a documentary format, and a consultative approach to engage learners.

- #29 In Dec 2008 Americans sent 100 billion text messages, double the number of Dec 2007. Average person sent 407 text messages, double the 188 sent in Dec 2007. At the same time, the average length of a cell phone call declined last year to 2.3 minutes. That's the shortest chat time since the 1990s, before mobile devices and cheap calling plans became widely available to everyday consumers. The peak talk time came in 2004, when a caller on average chatted for 3.05 minutes. "We are seeing a clear trend of huge increases in text messaging," said Amanda Lenhart, senior research specialist at the Pew Internet and American Life Project. "If teens are a leader for America, then we are moving to a text-based communication system. For them, there is less interest in talking."
