Students are not allow to enter in other classes, they can not learn other things, except their main subject. They  become masters in only one subject. Another important thing which Ken Robinson discuss is 'Divergent Thinking'.

video 5 :- Marc Prensky: Digital Natives, Dgital Immigrants

                In this video Marc Prenscky talk about Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. The present time is the time of technology. So, the new generation is growing up with technology and also take education through self learning with technology  rather than traditional way of teaching. Life of today's generation is surrounded by using computers, video games, Digital music players, cell phons and all the other toys and tools of the digital age. They spent less time in reading and spent more time in playing video games or with digital tools. All the digital things like T.V, Computers, Emails, cell phones etc. are integral parts of their lives. Thos who were not born into the digital world but have at some later point in our lived becomes fascinated by and adopted many or most aspects of the new technology and always will be compared to them that they are immigrants. Digital natives are learn technology very fast, while digital immigrants take a time to learn digital things. there is two types of content, first content is legacy content to bar the computers term for old systems and the second is future content. Legacy content includes reading, writing, arithmetic, logical thinking, understanding to writings and ideas of past etc. all of our traditional curriculams future content includes the high technological things in it.

        In Future for  Digital natives there is no need to learn tables or multiples and calculation, they learn only how to install calculator. So, we can say that if digital immigrants wants to teach IE to digital natives, they have to change their methodology of traditional teaching and they have to learn new methodology of teaching with new technology.
