Apparently his point is that schools are behind when it comes to incorporating technology into classroom instruction. My response to that--maybe in some schools. I had a different expeerience. Most of my knowledge of technolgy came from not only from school projects but from tools used in classroom instruction.
One could use the argument that funds for "gadgets" in the classroom are not available and that may be true but it depends on the innovation of the teacher. Much of today's tools can be accessed for free such as google presentations, google docs, and can be presented in a classroom setting with a single computer.
He also mentioned that the teaching methods were the same as they were one-hundred years ago; ateacher standing in front of the class lecturing students. I am afraid that classroom teaching methods do lie in the hands of the instructor, but for the most part i dont agree with MR. Winkle wakes.

You might want to visit some inner city schools. While it's tempting to assume every school is like the one we attended, it's important not to assume that everyone's experience is like our own.
