reflection Ch. 1 and 2 in Rethinking Education

Chapter 1 is about How education is changing. It talks about how students are starting to evolve. They are no longer satisfied with work sheets and lectures. They now need to be more stimulated. This chapter also talks about how we are now in a knowledge revolution. A revolution of technology that can provide us with any knowledge at any time.

Chapter 2 begins the debate between the enthusiasts and the skeptics by talking about the enthusiasts side. The enthusiasts have two arguments for technology in education. One is that the world is changing and education needs to prepare the students for the changing world. The other argument is that technology gives us enhanced capabilities for education, and as educators we need to embrace the capabilities. I agree with the enthusiasts. We need to use technology to our advantage to help keep students engaged and prepare them for the future.
