Rethinking Education In the Age of Technology (Ch 2)

Chapter 2 Reflection:

Chapter 2 of Rethinking Education In the Age of Technology focused on the technology enthusiast's point of view regarding the Knowledge Revolution. While reading this chapter I couldn't help but think of the phrase Jeff used in class, "we need to prepare our students for their future, not our past." I think that phrase is a good way to sum up the argument of the technology enthusiast's argument. One of the specific points brought up in the chapter is that schools have been slow to adapt to the Knowledge Revolution. The schools have been "lost in time". I do agree with this because although some schools are finally working to incorporate technology into learning some schools still haven't and even the ones that have are probably using more basic forms of technology than they need to. Even in technology savy schools there are always one are two teachers who refuse to incorporate technology into their lessons. Although I'm not the most technology savy person myself I will teach myself effective ways to use technology in the classroom because I think its a great way to expand student's learning base while keeping them interested.
