A Vision of K-12 Students Today

After watching the short video "A Vision of K-12 Students Today," I am forced to confront the fact that technology has become such a part of the life I live. Children in this generation spend hours of their day interacting with some form of technology. It makes sense that they are yearning for more of it in their classrooms. There does needs to be a healthy dose of technology-based teaching methods in classrooms today. It has become a great learning tool...the new chalkboard. However, there will always be some students that are not adaptive to all of the advances in technology, and would prefer to learn things "old school". Teachers need to consider all types of learners when planning lessons and activities. Finding a balance will be the challenge.
