An article in the UK Independent gives a comprehensive perspective on the work of a growing number of specialists who feel that tomorrow's classrooms are likely to be filled with pupils who will think more episodically, have shorter attention spans, communicate through pictures rather than words, have more learning difficulties, and be less able to control their impulses and emotions than the children of today.
