Did You Know - Student Perspective

Mr. Dooley's Middle School students have a lot to say about technology - both good and bad. This video was created from their responses and plays to Carly Comando's "Everyday."

Let this serve as a reminder to not only include technology in our schools, curricula, and classrooms, but to surpass expectations of student learning!

computer technology is good i agree, but not for teaching it distracts and im sure i would have concentrated more in school if it wasnt for the lures of the internet.

technology is just a medium for reading, and the best reading can be had in a book, i too prefer to sit in front of a bright flashing screen but books are best.

I strongly disagree with your statement about "best reading can be had in a book." Is the book not just another medium? You seem to be caught up in your own opinion and can't see the larger picture.

I am not pushing technology in the classroom when teachers don't understand it or are not ready for it. I am simply providing a glimpse of how the students feel about it and why it is important to them.

Also, just because our students today are savvy with their cell phones and social media sites does NOT mean that these skills transfer to technology in the education setting. Most students are just as lost as teachers are when it comes to education technology.

Whoo! I can sense a flame war at any one time by the paragraphs...No non-flamewars are well written. Ever.

I agree about how teachers are not as technology intelligent as they should be.. I had to give my teacher a lesson on how to use her new laptop! Good video but i have to say that things will change! I know more than my parents, my little 11 year old sister knows more than me, and my 3 year old niece is amazing at how she knows how to use cell phones and computers, when i was 3 I did not know how to use a computer! i did ride a 2 wheeler for the first time though.

Technology is the new carpentry or sewing. It's just a means to an end and that end is the same as it ever was. I have never given a powerpoint presentation in my life.

at University over here in Munich it's all online ... communication, management and content ... professors most of the time use powerpoint ... w-lan and computeraccess everywhere ... sorry for your medival teachers ... that will change over the years ...

@metallicpumpkin very true :) i like this topic cause technology affects people in so many different ways depending on which situation they are in. In the end arguments for and against cancel each other out. u can be a robotics engineer and design a factory that runs with no human presence which means the company pays less for production costs in the long run and most likely lower costs to cover mistakes previously made by workers. but then u have the other side... i was a worker in the factory.

@pheiniger I understand your point that industrialisation/technology has made us lazier and most living in developed countries have lost the original skills and knowledge that kept us alive, but funnily enough, these days you could probably just search the internet for instructions on how to bake bread, probably right here on youtube!

So the real problem is, if we lost our technology (plus all the resources to teach us these skills again) then we'd be screwed. But we'd probably still adapt...
