Sounds Like an Out of Touch Politician

  1. Contrary to what you say, for decades, and long after TVs were household fixtures, teachers were strongly opposed to incorporating TV in education.
  2. Claim U.S. online tutoring is economically big belies your data. $132 million market is little than a dollar per student or $2.3 million per state, which is paltry.
  3. While schools are populated with digital native, there’s no evidence this in any ways has made them better learners.
  4. As someone who has taught for decades (and first to offer an online course in my state), the number of “forward thinking teachers…evolving their teaching methods to benefit students by introducing new technology” is small. Moreover, there growing backlash against tech in the classroom because of serious issues related divided student attention.

What you did say that’s true is there’s “more opportunity for students to excel as unique individual learners.” In this respect, my Medium publication, A Passion to Evolve, has numerous articles on these topics. For example:

Reducing Education & Knowledge Gaps,

Infinite Present — Our Digital Dark Age,

Doc says — We’re Approaching An Autodidactic World,

Doc’s — The Coming Generation-F,

Please Please Me,

The Gods Must Be Crazy

Never Smart Enough
