New things in new ways?

While reading Prensky's Adopt and Adapt article, I understood and followed his model of technology adoption. It made sense that dabbling was followed by doing old things in old ways, which was followed by doing old things in new ways. How many times have I thought that using computers for tasks that could been done by hand, such as illustrating or designing, often made something prettier but required more time--a perfect example of an old thing in a new way. Anyway, I read on.

In the final stage of adoption, I found these two sentences of doing new things in new ways:

"For the digital age, we need new curricula, new organization, new architecture, new teaching, new student assessments, new parental connections, new administration procedures, and many other elements."

Motivational, yes, but not very informational. Just what specifically is Prensky advocating for? I read on and found this:

"If we really offered our children some great future-oriented content (such as, for example, that they could learn about nanotechnology, bioethics, genetic medicine, and neuroscience in neat interactive ways from real experts), and they could develop their skills in programming, knowledge filtering, using their connectivity, and maximizing their hardware, and that they could do so with cutting-edge, powerful, miniaturized, customizable, and one-to-one technology, I bet they would complete the "standard" curriculum in half the time it now takes, with high test scores all around."

Is this what he means by new things in new ways? Make the knowledge more future oriented and make skills more technology based? At first glance, that doesn't strike me as a new thing in a new way. Aren't there places in education already that address these topics? Aren't there courses already that teach programming skills? Does shifting the curriculum to these areas constitute the "invention" of which he speaks? Is this the "experimentation" in lesson plans, classes, etc of which he speaks?

I feel just as in-the-dark about the New-things-in-new-ways stage of technology adoption as it applies to education as I did at the beginning of the article. What should technology integration look like?
