Week #2

In his clip, Bring on the learning revolution, Sir Ted Robinson made an excellent point about how curriculum that is interesting to students will be far more beneficial to their learning. He made the argument that people are good at things they are passionate about. Children in this generation have grown up with technology and are passionate about it so teachers should include it in their lessons.  I believe that as long technology does not stray away from or distract from the lesson, it can be beneficial in a classroom setting. However, I also think that we should not disregard learning tools that are not electronic. Sir Ted Robinson made note that the younger generations do not wear watches because they have phones that do everything. But I think that watches can sometimes be more convenient or professional than using a phone for time.
