But for today?s youngsters， dull rote learning(死記硬背 )is meaningless because such basic facts are only a mouse click via Google， Wikipedia and online libraries， according to writer Don Tapscott. Tapscott， author of the best selling book Wikinomics and a supporter of the “ generation”，suggests a better approach would be to teach children to think creatively so they could learn to understand and use the knowledge available online. He said， “ Teachers are no longer the fountain(源泉 )of knowledge； the Inter is. Kids should learn about history to understand the world and why things are the way they are. But they don?t need to know all the dates.” Tapscott dismissed (摒棄 ) the idea that his approach is anti learning. Instead, he argued that the ability to learn new things is more important than ever in a world where you have to process new information at lightning speed. And he believes that the old fashioned model of education still mon in today?s schools, involving having_facts_off_pat， was designed for the industrial age. He said, “ This might have been good for the mass production economy， but it isn?t suitable for the digital economy， or for the ‘ generation? mind. Children are going to have to reinvent their knowledge base many times. So for them memorizing facts and figures is a waste of time.” Tapscott added the brains of today?s youngsters work differently to their parents’ ， and that multi tasking with digital equipment， such as using the Inter while listening to their MP3 players， can help them to develop critical thinking skills. Schools are increasingly introducing more independent study and activities， with pupils learning at their own pace and focusing on what interests them most. 46． What is important for the “ generation” in Tapscott?s opinion?
