Conclusion

If i were in a "normal" class i would write a paper with a conclusion so here it is.  I think that technology is the next step of education.  Since kids are so tech ingrained at 3 years old we need to find a way to incorporate its ideas and goals so that kids are consistently challenged and interested.  We need to meet them where they are.  Making a class project be a website would be a wonderful idea.  Just like the website we did for the Tech Trends class.  Where they make movies or songs or tables and have to learn to speak computer just as they are learning to speak music and to speak their language.  Using what kids love is not a crime and it is not necessarily a loss of the "art" that is education itself.  It is a way to grab them and while they are there expose them to all the many things in the world there are to discover and attempt to master. Using technology sort of levels the playing field because while some kids may have used  computers, most have never created a concrete or written html code.  I love this idea and love always catching kids off guard with what is to be "learned" and "accepted" that day. While cheesy, Technology is the "new frontier".
