No technology

The article about Waldolf school in California makes me start to wonder if technology helps you learn or if its just all talk. BHS took a big jump to supply the  entire school with ipads and i'm not saying its a bad idea, its just a different way of learning. BHS and Waldorf school are teaching their students in two completely different ways. I don't know if the technological advancement is going to make us learn easier, but i certainly think it is preparing us better for the real world. THe students at the two schools are learning the same things but the way we learn the material is going to make us more prepared for college and the years after. The world around us is developing more and more each day, becoming more and more technologically advanced. So why not use the technology around us and learn how to use it while also learning the basic subjects in school. Schools might as well show kids what is out there to use and teach them how to use the things they will run into when the graduate high school and college. “Engagement is about human contact, the contact with the teacher, the contact with their peers,”. This quote was said by a parent who has three kids in the Waldorf schools. THis quote is somewhat corrects, but i do not completely agree with it. THe students may be engaging with eachother, but they aren't engaging with the outside world.BHS and Waldorf schools both believe in two different things and are teaching their students the same things, just in different ways and i think BHS is more correct. I am glad that we are technologically advanced because i am now prepared for the real world and will be ready to put my skills into starting a career.
