Room305 says

Nowadays people do not take the time to do things themselves; expertise decreases. We need to balance this out.

Room305 says

We need to go to school because if we don't, we will be too lazy to learn and we won't learn how to socialize.

Room305 says

I think that technology is maybe the only way we can make it through this world.

Room305 says

Students should be learning how to work together and cooperate with other people.

Room305 says

Computers are doing our thinking for us.

Room305 says

Technology allows us to create new levels of knowledge.

Room305 says

We should be learning more than just the facts we research on the internet. We need to learn the 'why' and 'how'.

Room305 says

Textbooks are static. There is no debate or dialogue. On the internet you can read differing and new opinons and facts.

Room305 says

We need to learn to think not just to search.

Room305 says

History is getting longer and longer. This means there is even more information for us to learn.

Room305 says

Technology makes us dependent. We need to learn to be independent.

Room305 says

Schools need to teach us HOW to learn.

Room305 says

We need to study history in-depth so that we can learn from our mistakes. We shouldn't just find the facts when we need them.

Room305 says

School is a place for social learning.

Room305 says

School should stay the same; it's the internet that needs to change.

Room305 says

School is about asking and answering questions in person. You can't do that on the internet.

Room305 says

People have the stereotype that books have the real history but facts are facts. The internet is like a 'speed-book.'

Room305 says

At first school should teach us how to communicate. Then they should allow us to study whatever we want to learn.

Room305 says

If we keep abusing technology, we will all be fat, not socialize, and be stuck on the computer all day. We also wouldn't be grateful for nature & the outdoors.

Room305 says

Because of discussions in school, we are more open to ideas and opinions and not just facts.

Room305 says

Schools need to teach us how to learn things by ourselves, how to deal with other people, how to deal with events in life and manners.

Room305 says

The main purpose of school is teaching yourself how to be your own teacher later on in life.

Room305 says

Technology may make us skip the old-fashioned way but as human beings, we must adapt to the rapidly changing world we live in.

Room305 says

You can get facts from the internet but what about social interactions? What about expressing yourself?
