RE: A Vision of K-12 Students Today

What do you think?

I feel that this video is sending the wrong kind of message. To me it sounds like "You will not teach me with a computer. Hence I will not learn." Then again the video seems to be trying to say too much at the same time. There is no real direct correlation between the amount of technology you use in the classroom and how well you do in the future. The only reason I can think of why teaching with computers would be helpful is because students would feel too lazy to do otherwise.

I find it sad that YouTube has chosen to feature this. China will be 'greater' than America in the future if this video is representative of what all its K-12 students feel about the need to have technology in their curriculum. It may be helpful, but it isn't necessary, and I hope no real authority caves under this ridiculous misconception that technology will solve the problems of children and teens who are too spoilt by their culture and too influenced by its media to understand their education depends largely on their own willingness to learn.
