Q: Do we lost something equally important?Yes. Today's generation is so different. It seems like they are born to master the hi-tech skills.
The situation is that the whole world is rushing to apply the cutting-edge technological inventions in education industry; in the meantime, however, do we lost anything equally important in education when we got what we expected from technology? (e.g. creativity, personality, characteristics, moral values, etc.)
Compare the differences between nowadays students and your or your parents' generation's experiences, and give examples to support your idea.
Also, share your ideas on how you would like or have already done to cover the "gap(s)" or "loophole(s)" to help students' life-span developments, and be valuable for both the individual him/herself and our society.
However, I'm keep thinking that why we want everything "natural" but education. We hope to eat organically, to dress organically, and to live naturally. But when talking about education, people prefer technology to be involved as mush as it can, rather than "educate naturally".
I played with sand, rocks and water when I was a small kid. I used them to build tunnels, small hills, houses, military base, etc. How about today's kids? They do the similar things by clicks through a program on a computer. When we were running and chasing each others and playing games, today's kids are sitting in front of the computers playing computer games or watching "educational TV programs".
I'm not saying to get rid of the technology part from education which is not practical as well, nevertheless, I do feel pity for them sometimes. What a childhood memory it will be? A childhood without childishness.
