Teaching the Techno-kid

The Technology Evangelist has an interesting video and article about teaching in today's technical world. I've been thinking a lot lately about how we are educating today's youth. Are we using outdated techniques, ways that served their purpose of years past? Is it punishment to force a child, one who's mind is hyper-active and constantly seeking stimulation, to sit through a hour class with the teacher using a chalk board as an aid? Should we change our ways of teaching so they relate to today's youth? What are your thoughts?
