The Conceptual Age - reflection

By now you should have read Part 1 - The Conceptual Age from A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink.  Dr. Gary Stager has spoken out critically about the evangelism of Daniel Pink by the educational community.  Please read his current blog posting regarding Daniel Pink and his Keynote delivery at the Pennsylvania Educational Technology Expo & Conference.

Does Pink validate your beliefs of the world that we live in today, or for what the future holds for our students?  Do you agree with Dr. Stager's assertion that " too many of the Web 2.0/School 2.0 community have given up on the promise of school.  Media mashups and video games are discussed as substitutes for the discipline and powerful ideas required to play an instrument, write a novel, build a mathematical model, design a computer application, construct a robot, or make sense of a rapidly changing world."  How does Daniel Pink shape your vision for 21st Century learning?  How does Gary Stager? What does all of this have to do with our discussion of integrating multimedia on your classroom?
