Today in class we discussed different opinions about technology. It was surprising that there were many different opinions in the classroom regarding technology. The most controversial moment in class today was when we were discussing the quote ...
“If educators cannot successfully integrate new technologies into what it means to be a school, then the long identification of schooling with education, developed over the past 150 years, will dissolve into a world where the students with the means and the ability will pursue their learning outside of the public school.”(xv)
The topic of online schools came up in response to this quote. If technology was taken out of schools would that inspire more students to take up online schooling? I never really thought that there were students in elementary school who were learning by the internet. I realized in class that I knew nothing about online schools. It makes me curious if they really work and if students who are using online classes missing out other life schools. Is there such thing as too much internet. I know if I took online classes I would not be able to focus as well as being in an actual classroom. I need to interact with my peers and teachers in order to learn the material. This class just made me curious about online school and what it is all about.
