Watch the following video entititled "Education Today and Tomorrow." Write your response to the video in your own blog. Address whether you think if the 21st century learners of today's school system will be ready for the steadily increasing technology of today's society. Use examples from the video to back up your reasoning where they apply.
My Response
This video begins with a picture of a classroom from the mid-20th century. It now just the dawn of the 21st century and I found it interesting how the our classroom's today still look very similar. While we do have "computer labs" in schools I just do not think that having one room full of technology is enough for a school of children to learn. I believe that every classroom today should mimic that of our so called, "computer labs." Technology is truly changing not only the way we process information and communicate but also along with that, how we learn. In order for our students to be successful we need to cater to their needs. More local school funding should be placed on the tools to make this a success. After alll, children are the future to not only our country but to the entire world. Like the video showed, we are no longer preparing them for factory labor but instead how to utilize today's technology to the best benefit.
Great idea for a blog assignment Kellie!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, the classroom really has not changed that much. I agree we should have computers and technology in every classroom not just the computer lab. SS
You are so right! Our classrooms have not changed very much at all except for what little technology they put in it. I know at the school my mother teaches at the kids have to spend several hours a week on a computer in the classroom just to use what technology they have. As teachers we need to help our children move forward in this ever changing world of education. I really enjoyed your blog.
