Anti-Education Era Creating Smarter Students through Digital Learning

"A compelling case for reframing methods of teaching and learning."--"Kirkus Reviews""""Jim Gee is one of the great thinkers of our time. His book, "The Anti-Education Era, "explains how we can all become smarter. His description of synchronized intelligence and why affinity spaces make for powerful learning should radically change how we think about education."--Allan Collins, author of Rethinking Education in the Age of Technology"Jim Gee is a great thinker. The book's concept of the future of education as collective, powerful, effective groups combining multiple brains enhanced by technology around the world-- what he calls affinity spaces, and capital M 'Minds'-- is both original and brilliant."--Marc Prensky, author of "Brain Gain: Technology and the Quest for Digital Wisdom" "This book is a wonderful meditation on what it means to be an educated adult in a 21st-century, why this goal is critical to our future as a species, and what technologies can and cannot do to help us achieve the goal of an educated citizenry. It is a powerful antidote to the prevailing belief that more technology, and more STEM courses will save our economy and our planet."--Tony Wagner, author of "Creating Innovators" and "The Global Achievement Gap"
