Week 12...

Friday afternoon and of course I have absolutely nothing better to do than write on my blog ;)

Well I wanted to comment on the two clips that were in this week's module-

One was on mobile learning that has been implemented in a big way in a school in America- I found it absolutely fascinating- and still very torn about the whole issue. I found the idea that this school is preparing these students for life after school in a phenomenal way- such as by learning to work collaboratively while using several gadgets- really astounding.
 On the other hand I still had a little voice inside of me nagging, wondering whether this is really the way to go. School is perhaps the only place left where a kid can escape technology for a few hours a day- the only place he can learn to apply himself without the distractions of technology. Should school really become a place where technology also seeps in? Is it for the kid's absolute benefit? Am I just refusing to move on and come to turns with the fact that this kind of set-up is the best preparation we can give our kids?
I'm still torn...what do you think?

Second clip- absolutely huh-flippin-larious. that's all I wanted to say on the matter.

Shabbat Shalom!
