NextGeners bring vibrant life experiences, risk taking, and creativity into the classroom. They demand to be included in the 'why' and 'how' of learning. Teachers bring a love of learning, empathy, content and theoretical perspective that serves as a setting for how the classroom should operate. This book addresses two concerns arising from this dichotomy. First, teachers may have a theoretical perspective but not explicitly embedded in practice. This needs to change. The author argues that NextGeners understand personalized viewpoints but often miss that teaching and learning are grounded in a process of historical interactions. Second, NextGeners are social beings living in and defined by social media and the web. We must invite both to share how to construct shared understanding and build a learning community that makes sense in our emerging paradigm.
This is about self-knowledge as well as knowing others, and for me the two are interconnected on many levels. The acts of knowing are also the fabric of learning and teaching, and teaching is an act of many parts. I argue that if you are approaching a career in education at any level from the primary perspective of imparting knowledge and being the subject matter expert, you have one part of the puzzle. Another perspective is to see your role as a caring, loving person who interacts with and guides students as they set the pace of learning.
This set of ideas offers you the view that all of this is becoming increasingly intertwined. The world, at least the Western world that we inhabit, has always been changing and in flux. There have been relatively short periods in which matters appeared stable but that has usually been a matter of perspective. Today our challenges are the same: how to know ourselves and how to know the world around us. In the last century and a half, public education has been given the role of answering these two questions and while one can argue that the task was misguided, there is little doubt that for some education has been the vehicle to enhanced self-knowledge, to grand discoveries in science, and to entrancing acts in all the arts stretching our imaginations. Those goals remain unchanged; what has changed is the ability to access information and that calls for an in-depth consideration of the notions of teaching and learning. Our information societies, and there are many, are often personal and relative to our immediate interests, such as where can I buy a product, find a factual answer, or check on what a friend is doing.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
