Education n technology...

I read an interesting blog post today about how some school districts are getting the sense that they are not keeping up with changes. The blog post briefly discusses a presentation conducted with Edmonton school districts using video conferencing and knitter. Here are a couple of interesting insights from the students: 1) To the question, “…isn’t technology making us lazier?”
Theres a fine line between lazy and the ability to do more, if the computer can check our spelling, that saves us time to do more 2) About Facebook:
Facebook may not be completely safe but neither is taking public transport, that doesn’t stop us from using it 3) computers are used like typewriters, everything useful is blocked or restricted....Some interesting things to consider....
