I didn't like the tone of the Gee article, just like I didn't enjoy they assumptions he made in his book. Teacher are certainly learning to integrate different materials into the classroom, and it's not all reading and multiple choice tests. He's talking about a completely different extreme from how past generations learned things in school. I guess I just think there is a middle ground in all of this that's important to get to, but I don't think he adequately acknowledges that.
