Discussion #1

After looking and reading the assigned reading I really enjoyed thinking about how we as a nation and world need to address the need for every student to achieve the most they can instead of the old concept of teach the masses and if they get most of it they are good to go. I agree that children need more one on one with the teacher and that not just one teaching style will work for them. The one problem that I thought of while reading and that Roberto Joseph addressed was that a single teacher cannot keep 30 students learning at different paces.  I think the idea he had or using technology to help facilitate these needs. Using these tools to help them will give them the ability to self-teach and understand at their own pace and also encourage self-growth were they will not be pressured to succeed but want to do it on their own.

Looking at the final reading I liked how people are looking more and more to online learning. Its not just the online learning that is the draw its the ability to do it all the time and keep things fresh in the mind. I personally have liked this more and have succeeded in Westerns online classes and have been able to remember and apply information in my everyday life. The one problem that I see is that the technology that we need to be able to do this is very expensive and some is not very compatible with each other.
