"No more pencils, No more BOOKS,
no more teachers' dirty looks..."
I saw a lot of articles today about grockit, but I thought this was a particularly good one...

It will be interesting to see how this effects gamification in test prep.
Anyway, this got me thinking about something slightly unrelated:
How long until there are no books at school? I know there are some school districts in Florida in which every teacher has an ipad (compliments of the district) and I think some schools/classes are similarly enabled, but I am not aware of any districts in Florida that have gone completely digital. I'm curious what the cost/benefit analysis has shown, I may have to look into this and repost :)
Is it bad that my first thought was "Oh, man, they're going to kill everything that was good about Learnist"?
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny you say that...I thought the same thing!
