Today people learn a lot outside of the classroom. Children learn through their peers. Social interaction with peers allows children to learn from the world around them and those in it. Social networking sites allow children to easily find people to talk with that they have common interests with. AS children grow up they enter into an age of “hanging out” which means that they spend more time with their friends and “hang out” This hanging out teaches children practical real world experiences and how to coupe with troubles and their peers.
Today learning is greatly influenced by technology. People can go on-line and look up facts at any moment with the internet and cell phones/I-pods that are now internet capable. Children can even use internet sites to help them with homework or find a book on-line or on their nook and read it and never have to buy the actual printed book.
Teaching should be an ever changing study that focuses on educating our youth for the world that they are living in. Teacher should ebb seen a as source of knowledge and be there to help t heir students and assist them. Technology should be an aid to learning in today’s world because technology is becoming such a part of people’s everyday life. Student should learn from the word around them not just from the school.
"Teaching should be an ever changing study that focuses on educating our youth for the world that they are living in." I like this idea. Why do you think we in education have been so slow to actually do this?
