Articles- Al Gore: Should Schools Be wired to the internet-&& How to Bring Our Schools Out

When you think about schools and you think about the internet, you can offten find yourself saying that the two in a way tie into one another. Mainly because everything we do is revolved around using some sort of technology and can often seem like there is no other way to proceed with one with out the other. The article that Al talks about is all schools being wired to the internet. Could this be a good thing or a bad thing?
I mean eventually the student are going to encounter getting online and using the internet in some sort of way just because that is how our world works now. No more just pen and paper, but email addresses and the internet in general.
Some would say that technology in elementary schools would be too much, or exposing them at a young age to the internet would not be the smaetest choice to make. In my opinion, this sort of information could also be offered at home, so what would be the difference of having it in the schools through all ages.
I think that exposing this technology would help students that would later on grow up to have trouble with computers. in doing this might lessen the chances of students having to take computer classes in high school or even in college.
This could also help the student save money and help good writting habbits develop at a young age. The reason for saying this would mainly be because when your younger it is easier to learn something rather than when your older. another example of this would be learning how to swim or even, bigger drive a car.
Bringing the school's out and into the texhnology would really doesn't have a down side. Assuming that they stay focused and not trying to do anything in a bad way. which would come from good parenting and good influences through there school life and life in general.

  1. Hey Pauline!I agree with what you said in this blog. I also think that students should learn about technology in at a younger age.As time goes by,technology will be changing and growing so having younger students learn about it now will help them out later in life.I think it's great that you put your own opinions in your blogs.I like how you organized your blog in paragraphs which makes me understand it.I think that you present very well and you have good discussions in class too!I'm thinking that you should have an A in this class.But anywho keep up the good work :)
