Reading Presnky's challenge really got me thinking as an educator. I thought his ideas were very different and exciting, but at the same time very unrealistic. There are so many different students in the classroom. Some may absolutely love technology, while others could never learn to the best of their ability solely using a technology means of learning.
Presnky was not an educator and that is apparent by reading his challenge. Packing an entire year's work into a semester just would not benefit any students. It would bring a great deal of stress and pressure, and add negativity towards wanting to learn.
Learning technology is very important, and students would benefit from some of his ideas; but this challenge does not accurately describe what can and would happen in the classroom.
