The video proided by mwesch, " A Vision of Students Today" made me think about my own education. This video talks about how the use of traditional teaching methods such as textbooks and classrooms isn't always useful. It also talks about how people spend money on a text book that they might not open or a class that they might not attend.
This opened a couple of questions for me that, in some ways, worry me. What is an effective method for learning, then? If a classroom isn't the most effective method, then is there really any point for me going to school? Once I had thought about it some more I found one main thing that he had left out and this was the fact that this only applied to a portion of students. For some a classroom is the only way to truely be able to focus on there studies. At the end, where it talked about how technology alone could save us, was another point I disagreed on. In some ways it can help us, but it can also serve as a distraction and a temptation. The one thing I can say I truely agree with is that it might be time for a change, maybe not as big as they imply they want but a change nonetheless.
