How do you think technology will change public schools?
Progress waits for no man.
I am distressed about an article I read a few days ago, that %26quot;cursive%26quot; writing will eventually become as obsolete as %26quot;Latin%26quot;. Technology is simply making %26quot;hard%26quot; writing a thing for %26quot;bookworms%26quot; I guess. They even NOW have been experimenting with an %26quot;implant%26quot; that is a wireless %26quot;transceiver%26quot; to a computer ! Won't belong, you think a thought and it's typed out for you.
How do you think technology will change public schools?
technology is always a good thing for lowering cost of doing business. Today there are many courses offered online and %26quot;long distance%26quot;. The use of Intranet communities is used in almost every university (i e Blackboard). Students can find sources for research much easier on the internet. Many textbooks are available online. I think the real world is using technology more and more and schools with have to use them and teach them to produce functioning students.
Schools will become more technology oriented, at the expense of %26quot;basic%26quot; education.
It is already happening:
Many students have very poor spelling and grammar,
Many can NOT do simple ARITHMETIC, not advanced mathematics, without a calculator,
Many do not receive education in history, other than local, if that,
Many can not use a map, or even know how many states there are in the United States.
Etc.
Even the majority of current adults could NOT pass the same citizenship test required of those who immigrate and wish to become U.S. citizens!!
which part of country are you from ?
