Week 8 Disagreements with website 1

As a whole the text seems to categorize too much and looks at the theory in a very black and white world.Rather than actually making allowances for those who may fit the other criteria surrounding the theory.

It also becomes clear that in order to keep up with the 21st century and the students before they get 'bored' is to become a Digital Native and move forward with technology as the old ways of educating students is not going to engage them enough. However although I believe this is true to a certain extent if you were to completely scrap the idea of tradition in teaching I think there would be a different generation of students. Students who would have no respect for the educational system at all or the idea that a little bit of hard work goes a long way. I feel that if we went a long completely with this theory yes we may have a technological advanced generation of students but I too believe we would have a generation which would rely soully on this technology and would in fact become lazy at it were if the tradition of of education was lost. What do you think?
