Ian Jukes article on new digital landscapes
A fuller 90 page but very readable version is liked here Understanding Digital Children

This infed.org link is quite good for education articles generally - see blogroll.
More from Ian Jukes because we like the way he captures challenging educational issues:
Much is being made in the UK of 21st century skills - see 2020 Vision above. Dukes looks in detail at this and produces a skils attribute list and an audit. May be good for action research:

Hello there - I’m Hazel Rothera, the new Subject Librarian for Education at the Harcourt Hill Library of Oxford Brookes, so I thought I should introduce myself!
(Helen Whittaker was promoted to another post in the Library at Brookes in January 2008)
I’ve been at Brookes for nine years now (!), previously working with the School of Health and Social Care, and am really enjoying settling in to Harcourt Hill and meeting Education staff and students. Currently we’re getting geared up for the MA Summer Schools in July.
Do contact me if you need any help finding or accessing resources for the course at any time - email educationlibrarians@brookes.ac.uk
Cheers,
Hazel
