Isn't this what we all want? They want to work with modern tools, like adults do. With the possible exception of the technology (& even that is debatable) what they want does not cost anything! Give it to them!

Apr 26, 2012 - It is crucial to allow students to express themselves. It shows in this video how that's possible. Keep it coming guys!!!!

Apr 23, 2012 - I don't think the goal of this video was to promote a teacher-less classroom. Right now especially, technology (and the internet, primarily) can be used to *help* teachers. I know my school uses these things called "Gizmos" on ExploreLearning, and they just reinforce lessons that teachers have already presented to the class. It is also meant to show how class discussion and the student's ability to bounce ideas off of peers can be a fantastic learning tool if harnessed correctly.

On the other hand without it ull need books every year, pencils and paper every week and all kinds of other instruments. Looking at the big picture the laptops are quite a bit cheaper.

Apr 3, 2012 - Nice video. I'd like to see some change also. But, if anyone believes that 30 ninth graders would sit around and teach each other algebra or go online to find methods of solving equations you are mistaken. kg

Jan 17, 2012 - "That's society and society follows a heirachal structure." Not necessarily (and its hierarchical not heirachal). It's only one of the way a society can function. There are some other ways. "they get A's if they try hard enough". A's does not exactly reflect the intended learning aimed by education institutions. Dude, some of the students get A out of cheating. They learned alright, they learned cheating. You want to call that "learning"?

Jan 16, 2012 - How exactly am I being ignorant? All I seem to be doing is stating how it is in such an environment

LuciferAmadeus Says:

Jan 5, 2012 - I don't quite get how is it "eco-friendly" and "less expensive".

LuciferAmadeus Says:

Jan 5, 2012 - Your insult talks more about your own ignorance than the video's.

Jan 1, 2012 - Hear what God of Israel YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH (Son and Father are ONE) saying to our generation by His chosen prophets: Trumpetcallofgodonline. com ; Letter called "Purify Your Faith, and Come to the Father as It is Written": EXCERPT: "Only in the Bible and through these very Letters, of which I have given to My prophet of the end of this age, shall you find Him and know Him."

Nov 28, 2011 - This video is really quite ignorant, it says that children can't learn in such circumstances. However, my school is quite similar, my classmates seem to be fine with it, they get A's if they try hard enough. Similarly, if you want to change it, then wait your turn, if you want these changes, then wait until you get a job with education and work your way up the ranks, it's very much different if you complain about it to the decision maker. That's society and society follows a heirachal structure.

Oct 8, 2011 - Some of the video was promising and interesting, but the statement "Our opinions are the answer" is really ignorant -- there is such a thing as content knowledge! Yes, let's find more diverse and interactive ways access and process knowledge - but, sorry, it isn't just your opinion!

meeproar Says:

Sep 25, 2011 - They have programs that allow the teacher to take control remotely or just view multiple student's screens. It actually makes it much harder to slack-off and much easier for the teacher to see who is having difficulty. I'd be more worried about theft (students pawning the devices off).

SpicyHam Says:

Sep 2, 2011 - Hmm, I came here for the girls.

Aug 26, 2011 - What makes today's education industrial? Students leave the home at the same time, five days a week, to go to a place away from home where they all learn the same thing at the same pace. Industrial because this kind of education is systematic. What's the alternative? Don't go to school, meet in each other's homes in smaller groups one day a week and bring the learning to the school. Teacher's scared of this - because students take learning into their own hands? Yes!

jbjoker22 Says:

Aug 23, 2011 - Well like I said I would like change and this would be good but it needs some tweaking to the idea. I would love to have something different than the usuall things that we have had. Yet, on the other hand schools have learned a great deal from the way we have been,but I would still like it.

JoeyAhmadi Says:

Aug 22, 2011 - A revolution of the current system to something presented by the video would encompass changes much greater than what you can actually see by the video. Curriculum would need to be looked at; "What should we be learning?" In particular, the division of classes would need to be looked at too. Why do we divide people by age and force them through the same regimen, when some need, some don't. Classes based on ability and interests are more useful. And if you need a break, take one.
