Next Generation Learning.

This video was incredible it was about using technology in the class rooms. It is so true what the boy said in the video that we have come a long way since writing on the boards with chalk to having slides in the class rooms to having computers in the classes as well. I think that using the wii and the computers like in the video will help the kids learn a more exciting way and gets them involved. Also uses their creativity to come up with ways to do projects for school.

I really wish that more schools where able to have the money to do things like that in the video with the wii and the computer on the wall that you can write on and get the kids more active in school I think that it helps them see, hear and participate in it so that they learn it instead of just listening and hearing it. Because we all know if you can participate in something you are more likely to retain it that just listening. Also making learning fun again for the kids is a big thing.


In the video they could go online ,and do their homework if they go on vacation. They can still do it with out getting behind on their school work. They could also access it from their phone. It was really neat to see that they can check out a computer in their library to take it home to do a paper or research on. That is just amazing that they have the resources to do that. Now tell me that's not cool or what. Their is so many things that are available for the students sometimes it just comes down to money unfortunately.

I hope that one day all schools will be able to have the resources to be able to have the technology to have that kind of learning in the class rooms. I think that it would help so much. Also get kids thinking ,and learning in a whole new way. I can't wait to see the future holds for kids in the class room. I guess we will have to wait ,and see.
