Growing up Online


After watching the show, it really made me think. I was thinking about how technology has changed the world, and especially the education system. Technology in schools has changed so much in the last two decades, and will bring even more drastic change in the years to come. Because of computers, the education system has been exposed to all sorts of advancements in the school system, however, it also has created problems. problems of plagarism are now much more prominent, as is the amount of cheating. I think that the school system, and especially teachers, should try to embrace change and this won't be as much of an issue. I think that our education system needs a serious technological overhaul, do away with outdated books and other teaching strategies, and bring in more smartboards, videos, and other diverse ways of teaching. If this was done efficiently, it would not only solve the problems mentioned above, but it would also help to improve student's averages and the attendence rate. because, if school is fun, then why would you not show up?
