Reflectio

Having wacthed 2 vids about the awkward realationship between technologies and education, i cant help but to think about the issue seriously... (maybe)


Seriously talking, it seems like the educational system is unable to catch up with the fast and ever changing technological world. While e-learning are starting to get more popular, teachers around the world arent able to adapt to it. They still have the old way of teaching as their favorite preferences, as it was much easier.


Talk about the common (old) way of teaching, it's juz like the teacher is spoon-feeding the students with whatever they feel it is neccessary, or according to the official outline, regardless of the student's capabilities and interest. Recently, the more trendy way of teaching is helping the students to learn of their interest, in their own pace, which is much harder when being executed.

Students' view is still always secondary to a lot of teachers out there, in the present day. Someday, change will eventually take place, but I wonder how long will it take...

Here's the video that are being mentioned. Have a good look at them.

Nothing is gonna be easy, but we wont know what can we achieve or have done before we really try our best at doing so.

It's the nature of human to be lazy or choose the easier way.
