It's Not About the Technology

I agree with Kelly Hines, "Techinology is not the first thing we need in our classrooms". I think one of the biggest problems that affects the way students learn is discipline. Teachers are not respected by the parents or studenst the way they used to be. I think it is a big part of the overall approach to teaching and learning. It helps both the student and teacher share the eagerness to learn. Without discipline students can not utilize the internet for its unlimited sources of information, but only for games and communication.
Discipline is something children learn at home. They bring it to the classroom, and teachers take over from there. Without the foundation of discipline there simply is no hope for educating our youth. Better learners will only come from a better mind set. Teachers must also share the mind set for better teaching.
