Chapter 6 Rethinking

I see what the author sees with the location of schools. In the beginning of time when apprenticeship was desired, the children learned mainly from home. However, when the Industrial revolution hit, and children started going into schools to learn the core contents that all children should learn.Now, children can learn anywhere. Children can now go anywhere and have access to the internet, which is where many of the learning is now. Even if they are at a school or home location, they still can learn anywhere.

My stance on technology has not changed even after reading how technology made good and bad changes. I still believe that the future is in technology and that the students are doing nothing, but getting themselves ready for their lives and future in the workforce. As an educator, I would teach what the students need to learn, but let them "loose" and explore how to learn on their own from home or from another location. These kinds of things would be projects or research papers.
