In the article titled, Education Needs a Digital Upgrade, the writer claims that not using technology in classrooms is cultivating how grade school children learn- and not cultivating in a good way. It's suppressing how children's' minds work and how they learn new information. Basically what the writer is saying is that not using technology in classrooms will ruin a kids ability to learn in the 21st century. Reasons why the writer thinks this is because technology is advancing so quickly... So what we are teaching them today could be pointless and useless for them because it will be totally different for them in the next 10 years.
Personally, I agree with what the writer has said. In grade school, we used strictly textbooks and nothing else. My way of learning was confined by only what I could read from my one source of information. Now in college, I am given so much information to use for research papers, projects, and even tutoring for math classes. Technology has opened my mind to so much everything because I have so many sources to get it from so easily. If I wanted to learn about the human brain, I can easily go on the internet and read articles upon articles right then and there.
