I found The article by Mr Socol very interesting and reassuring of my own personal observations int he classroom. His philosophy that effective teaching only happens when a student is actively learning. Our children are bored with the traditional methods of teaching,for example,
lectures and power points and are quite unresponsive. The evidence are in the test results as stated. Our society is changing, beginning with our children and the way they are choose to learn.
I personally don't think they are fighting the teachers and don't want to learn,but their brains are operating on different wave lengths. If the teachers can't beat them, they must join them. This is a battle that teachers can't afford to lose. My question is, where is the funding for the training and technology going to come from. All school systems aren't able to make the adjustments.
