I think it is the parents and teachers who should make education relevant to students. Technology must become nothing more than a tool. Where alll can have access to hardware and applications.On the one hand I think that using technology is not exactly learning – just as using a remote control does not teach you about television. You are the slaves to the technology; not the technologist.

It is possible to teach in a traditional classroom without being a “talking head,” but I definitely see the benefits of having a computer classroom for teaching with Word, MLA formatting, etc. And internet activities, of course. Lectures and teacher-centered learning do still have a place, but regardless of their merit they’ll be phased out once the funds become available to give every teacher a computer classroom.
