Wow! What an interesting, intimidating, and informative video! I guess America and the rest of the world has some work to do to keep up with how quickly technology is advancing. As future teachers, it is our duty to make sure that our students are exposed to as much technologically enhanced education as possible. America needs to catch up with the rest of the world and make sure that our future (our students) becomes familiar with other languages and are trained to understand 21st century technology. Students are collaborating all over the world, researching with one another via the internet. Our students should be a part of this! This is, however, kind of scary. What will happen to hands on learning, I wonder? It seems that educational practices may be taking too sharp of a turn towards technology.

  1. Can't there be hands on learning with technology? Maybe I don't understand the distinction that you are making.
