Technology in School?

January 29, 2008

 No offense teachers, but a lot of the time I’m totally bored at school!  I’m tired of:

• Copying notes on paper
• Worksheets
• Lectures
• Homework on paper
• Textbooks (All of them.)
• Reading article handouts
• Running laps on the track
• Annotation
• Being bored in school

Now, here’s how you could improve these problems:

1. Rent each student a PDA, on which they can store homework worksheets, write notes, annotate, and do their homework on.
2. Have textbooks on the internet or store on the abovementioned PDAs
3. In gym, buy a Dance Dance Revolution game, which is great exercise once you get good at it.  (I burn 16 calories each song.)
4. Use technology other than computers in class.
5. Make the whole school out of holograms, give the students jetpacks, and build robots to replace the teachers.  (My favorite idea.)
6. Find some educational video game, and let the students play them.  (There must be millions for math class.)

So those are some things to think about.  Especially number five.

Sincerely,

Zdrok and Lman
