  • Stop pushing technology. It was a progressive marketing ploy when Apples arrived in every classroom. If you want 21st Century HUMANS to be proficient learners, show them how to teach themselves-. Show them how to COMPREHEND text & voice. Encourage them to ask WHY and How and to dig in all the media sources until they can answer it. Electronic doo-dads help the manufacturer and the sales force, they DO NOT enhance thinking-doing and engagement with data and information enhance thinking.

  • @msrtoday true, don't push technology, but don't stay too far behind

  • brilliant video

  • you have some great stuff here

  • Very enjoyable thank you

  • 2011: $ costly, maintenance costly, not-learner-focused, s/w & h/w innovation rate means rapid, costly depreciation of skills, s/w 7 h/w.

    As stated by first speaker, not suitable for non-geek teachers nor non-geek students.

  • having said what I said though, I'm actually pro-tech' in a classrm. and everywhere else. I'm kind of a media junkie. In school, I was the typical visual/interactive learner. It makes it easy to absorb material fast. Good tools.

  • @msrtoday Nice! Someone who can see behind the smoke and mirrors. I'll add that the truth is that individuals can't rely on anyone else for their own education. Tech' rapidly evolves so adaptability = a vital skill. What's the point of being so tech-focused? 2-3 yrs later things change. This video is about befuddled adults over-complicating simple lessons. Digital media is designed well enough that it's practically intuitive to use from the get go. This tech-frenzy is a sales pitch.

  • just figured out that the voice is only in the right channel. I was only listening to my left earphone.

  • I'm getting audio in the form of background music, but not the teachers' voices. I had the same problem on part 2 as well.

  • this is amazingly techy...

    but it is not applicable at 3rd world countries..
