You just have to figure out the best way to utilize that tool to better serve and help humans in their everyday lives. There may be some great tools here, but that tool is for a different job. I can still use that tool, but for when I’m ready for “that” job.
After reflecting on what Sir Ken Robinson noted that education today is a factory line, I see that tool usage is so important. Are we using standardized testing as a tool of destruction? I appreciate how Robinson says that teachers don’t consciously do things this way on purpose, it’s just the way things are. We must step back from the education we’re experiencing and think whether we are being purposeful or just doing things the way they are.
Technology is the perfect example because many administrators are mandating the use of technology just for the sake of it. The same can be said about standards based grading. But are we using these tools just to look good or are they making a real difference?
I agree with the video of “Where Good Things Come From” that technology should be used as ubiquitous connectivity. We should harness this power and use it with purpose.
