Next Generation Learning

This video presentation on technology was created very well. The sixth grade boy made the presentation even more educational because he was presenting the message of technology from a student's perspective. Not only did the boy do a great job in getting the audience's attention, but he made the audience realize the important use that technology has to offer. There are some people who think technology is not helpful, but this video presentation shows some different types of technologies that can be used educationally for students and teachers in schools across the globe.

If presenting this video to a group of adults to try to get more use of technology in schools, I think the approach of a student creating the project was a great idea. If I were an adult trying to decide whether or not to make technology more useful in schools, I would want to see the importance of technology from the students rather than a teacher or another adult trying to persuade me. Also, getting a student to create the video helps other students get excited about the use of technology because children want to do what other children do, not what other adults do. So again, if an adult had presented or created this video, I do not think it would have had as much of an impact. People want to see children excited about learning, and bringing in useful and educational technology will help get students more excited to learn.

This video makes anybody that watches it realize how far our world has come as far as technology skills. Children's parents today did not have the access to technology instruments that their children have in this day and time. This video makes people understand the importance of the different types of technology available, and this video shows people how the technologies can be used. I enjoyed watching this video because it is a short presentation that makes a clear point, which is technology is the next generation.
