Next Generation Learning

The video was very informative. It talked about the many different types of technology being used in schools. By having different types of technology in schools, it allows and makes learning more fun and interesting for students. Not all schools are technologically enhanced, but more and more schools are getting there.


In the video, it talks about a little boy named Henry and how his school is technologically enhanced. For example, in his schools communication is very important. Henry's parents can keep in touch with the teacher about his grades and so forth. Henry can download his homework and upload to the computer to turn it in.


Also, Henry and his friends can play the Wii to help them with exercise. They get more fit and it makes them healthier. They also are allowed to have digital cameras in the classroom, to help their memory in a lesson. They can take pictures of things that they believe is important. By taking these pictures they can remember what they learned later on. I really enjoyed watching this video and it helped me understand that having technology in the classroom can help benefit not just the teachers but the students and parents as well.
