The video said it best, ''If you have only paper and pencils only certain types of students will succeed." As a mother I have found out that my daughter stays interested in things longer when she discovers information on her own. Exploration in the classroom is vital. Make your student put their thinking caps on, before you teach ask them what you think will happen next. I think this strategy helps build their critical thinking skill. I believe that giving them the software and letting them explore it and then letting them teach what they have learn to you is an awesome way to teach.
Teaching your student how to connect to the world is important. Technology is growing everyday and staying up-to-date is a very important commodity. In the next ten years will we use paper and pencils in the class? When my daughter was in kindergarten she learned how to get on the PBS Kids network. In the future I think that digital smart will be just as important as reading and math.
