Teachers Embrace Digital Learning Strategies | MindShift - 3 views

  • “When I went to school, computers were put in a room called The Lab,” Bellow said. “‘What are they experimenting with in there, I thought.’ Technology wasn’t built into what we were doing. It was farmed off in a room, like it was special.

      I have been opposed to "labs" for most of my career, other than curriculum labs where they are used every day for a class such as keyboarding. Teachers used to send their students to the computer lab, and then have them come back to their room where they would teach them math, reading, social studies, science the old fashioned way.

Plato, from The Phaedrus, quoting Socrates - 1 views

  • for this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves. The specific which you have discovered is an aid not to memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality.

      This was written by Plato, Socrates' student, from a dialoge between Socrates and Phaedrus in 370 B.C. Seems like resistance to change is nothing new.
