Mr.Winkle Wakes

The video basically talks about how the technology of many years ago has evolved today. I really didnt know why they had the little cartoon man up there Because he didn't really go with the video at all. But I guess he did add a little animation to the video. The thing that i didn't like about the video is that it bashed the education system a little bit. It was basically saying that computer can teach children and adults better than a teacher can. One thing that a computer can't do is have a relationship with a student like a teacher can. A computer surely can't give a student who has a 89.4 a 90 average. Basically what I'm trying to say is that computers are good in most aspects of life, but there are just some places where computers can't replace.

  1. I think that you are very right, but to a certain extent. I completely agree with you that teachers and computers should not be repaired or "switcher-out" in schools. Teachers will forever be the backbone of schools. However, I do feel that students can learn a tremendous amount from computers. Not necessarily things that teachers cannot teach them, but they can certainly EXPAND on the things that teachers teach.
