Video response

The video 'A Vision of Students Today' addresses whether or not the methods of teaching used still have validity. In the video students point out many truths about what goes on in the college level classrooms of today and how the majority of practices may now be arbitrary. Because of the continuing increase of technology students now have the ability to communicate on a level much, much greater than past generations using the internet. This new tool has not yet been applied to education as far as anything that would make a significant difference in how things operate. Students have to pay money for tuition and books which coincide with a class that may not have any benefit to them. Why are we communicating our increasingly complex learning through old fashioned methods such as books, classrooms, and chalkboards? Granted these definetly work; a classroom environment can be a good place to learn. Even though they work it does not mean that they cannot be altered, and it would make sense that if that alteration has benefits then we would only be hurting ourselves if we didn't impliment it. The technological revolution has began and I guess the education system is just a little slow to catch on. Unfortunatley for the students that when, which could be soon, technology is applied to it's fullest potential, then what they have learned will mean close to nothing in terms of what our world demands.
