Next Generation Learning Video

First let me just start off by saying those were some nice vans kiddo. This video is great, although i doubt the skateboard wearing youngster put it together on his own. Nevertheless, a great video. All the technology was great. This video makess me wish i was still in le school today just so i could used some of the things that he talked about. Iphones, whiteboards, the internet; I thought a graphing calculator was advanced! Obviously not, there's all kinds of technology available for any type of classroom, whether it be a biology lab or an english class. Tehcnology could be everywhere with the right funding. I would lovve to teach in a classroom with a whiteboard or a computer for every student. Mabey one day this will be possible.

So in conclusion, this kid had some great ideas. The problem is getting more people like his mom to be involved in getting some of these tools to help children learn in a variety of different ways. Think about if evey child in America had a computer. Or even if 75% of children had a computer. What would life be like by the time they graduated? Our population is already known as one of the most advanced nations in the world. Think about what would happen if the children of today were given those kinds of advanced tools. The possiblities are limitless.
