Subject: Syncing Up With the iKid.

I think as teacher we should concentrate on moving toward the technological approach. I do believe that as generations pass and technology increases, those new generartions are just going to become more and more bored with the older teaching methods. I also think that if the research shows that students not only learn more with new technology, but actually work harder and enjoy school more, (which the article states numerous times) then you have to use the technology thats avaliable to you.

If you are a teacher who is old fashioned and likes the old school, simple teaching methods, thats fine. You can use those too, but you somehow need to figure out a way to integrate the new technologies that make the content as interesting as possible for the students. Find a way to make them both work if you have to. As a teacher you need to remember, you are there for the students. So you need to make their educational experience as good for them as you possibly can.
