Just imagine the HUGE amount of time a teacher would need to prepare this one lesson for this one class. Prepare a lesson plan, prepare or acquire the presentation, get the necessary construction materials, involve a 'bridge engineer' etc.

Then be aware that our teachers must give a 1000 lessons yearly. Then you will understand that technology is not the only determining factor in the quality of education.

It's the teachers. And it's us giving them the necessary space to do their job properly.

This is someone's dream, but the reality is it will NEVER happen! We can't even get decent desktops in our classroom and a real whiteboard....let alone a computer wall and a class set of touchscreen tablets...PLEASE. These videos are just Hollywood creations. I am a 6th grade Science teacher in West Virginia who teaches at a school less than 5 miles from the capitol building and I don't even have a real science lab because no one will invest the money to build it. Nice, but only a dream.

Well, teachers SHOULD be well-trained in what they do, teachers these days are horribly inefficient. They are only concerned about making sure kids pass standardized tests. Teachers SHOULD have to have more specialized training to be allowed to teach.

Not quite as cool as "A Day Made of Glass" but a lot more realistic. We already have all this technology, it's implementing it on a large scale that we need to work on. The 3-D printer was really cool too. I like schools that use a more hands-on learning approach rather than one where the teacher just lectures and gives homework.

High Expectations, gain High Results... this is a great vision!! Technology Enhanced Curriculum!!

Sorry, there is no reason whatsoever to trust in an educational model in which teachers are reduced to 'executors' of other people's plans. On the contrary, the most effective teachers are the ones who do not follow the book, nor follow some externally programmed 'schedule', but who have the expertise, authority and autonomy to develop and mold their own lessons. The most effective countries in education (OESO, PISA, TIMMS) are the ones where teachers function as are leaders, not followers.

[Max Smith]

Who said teachers had to be the ones to develop these "lessons"? I imagine a new market being made where, using the available tech, programmers and engineers would design lessons and teachers/schools could purchase them for their classes.

Defenately in the top 5 cheesiest things I Eva whatched

[dolev abelson]

Not at all! you must not run from technology and innovision you have to embrace it REALLY! say such a weak argument "HUGE" amount one time?? really! you can easly! pre-makle hundreds and thousands of lessons share with schools all over the cuntry HELL! ALL over the world..... so the amount of lessons is a problem? PFF data for lassons will be the LAST thing teacher would need to think about.
