Week 2: "Turning On the Lights"

According to the author of  turning on the lights, many children in school are bored because their lessons are not engaging enough and frankly, the students are not being adequately prepared for the future.  These are bold statements made by a bold writer and although I like the traditional teaching methods, I agree with the reasoning behind the author's observations and conclusions based on his observations.  Teachers CAN make school more exciting by incorporating technology into the classroom.  They should encourage its use outside the classroom for the sake of learning.  Through blogging and websites like YouTube, learning can be fun again.  It's worth a shot; to try and amp up the level of creativity in the classroom and to move away from the dull,old-school teaching methods still upheld in so many traditional classrooms today.  It would be wise for new teachers to prepare early for such a transition in order that they may properly and effectively infuse technology into the classroom.
