I found the video about Mr. Winkle really interesting. At first when it started, I thought it was going to be about the importance of technology in the classroom because of all the things that were new to Mr. Winkle when he woke up like computers, x-ray machines in hospitals, etc. In the end, it turns out that even though all these advances in technology had been made, education in the classroom had stayed the same for one hundred years. When you stop and think about it this is really sad.
Students today are not the same as students one hundred years ago. They have so many resources available to them that students in the past did not have. Students today need to have the opportunity to explore what interests them instead of being lectured everyday. Like from the previous post, if teachers don't let students take advantage of all the opportunities available to them we're going to have a world full of boring people with no imagination and nothing new ever being created. I think since we're living in a world with technology constantly changing, it is up to teachers to be on their toes and change the way we teach students.
