Thing 16

I enjoyed all 3 videos although I must admit they made me cringe about the state of education. Digital students in analog schools seems to hold true for more than just university students. Students must have technology and the option to use it creatively to demonstrate knowledge. Robinson emphasized that creativity is as important as literacy in schools. Instead of growing out of creativity students should grow into it as they progress through schools. Technology can allow them to do that. Problem is many schools do not have the technology available to them or their students. No Future Left Behind said it all in a variety of words: ask, learn, discover, create, share, fail, try again, learn, explore, collaborate . . . thats what we need to do in classrooms today
