A Vision of K-12 Students Today

Maybe the problem is you.

His job is to educate you, not entertain you.

What is your responsibility?

Does he have nothing teach because he doesn't cater to your liking of presentation?

Sounds petty and small.

I agree. Stating that China has more English speakers is a slap in the face to our culture that assumes superiority. The more a culture is able to adapt to change, the longer it will endure.

- Why have students tell stories digitally, when they can tell them offline through plays or art?
- Wouldn't many parents would be against their kids doing everything at school primarily with technology?
- Whatever, Whenever, Wherever technology means that students in class will be doing whatever, wherever online, whenever they please.
- A significant number of students do not have internet access at home. Assigning them lots of homework to be completed online would put them at a disadvantage.

What do statistics on the number of students speaking English in China and the number of honor students in China have to do with the need for technological literacy in K-12 schools? I think it makes more of a statement about the need for more foreign language study in America than it does for the wider use of technology in the classroom.

man at college here is this old dude that wrote in fucking cursive all uglie and refused to use power points!!! no one could read his writing!!! i droped out of that class. at the end my friend told me there were only 5 students left in that class!!! stupid old close minded ignorants!!!

Wait until you are in a class taught primarily from PowerPoints. It can be just as dull. Technology does not make or break a teacher.

"ugly", not "uglie"
"dropped", not "droped"
"ignoramuses", not "ignorants" (which isn't even a word)

Sounds like your instructor couldn't have helped your stupid ass even with all the Powerpoint presentations in the world.

Watch "Let Children Create" to see a short video like this one that is great for sharing with teachers and administrators.
