1980s vs. Twenty First Century


Kids of Today vs 1980's Technology (HD) - YouTube. (n.d.). YouTube. Retrieved November 25, 2012, from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v75QpvISUs&feature=related

This source is a YouTube video that does not touch on iPads in the classroom, but it does focus on the advances of technology from the 1980s until now, and students inabilities to not be able to operate technology from twenty years earlier. After watching this video I did not think it was going to be useful in my argument about iPads being used in the classroom; however, it does illustrate how technology has advanced, the benefits of using technology, but most importantly, the video focuses on how children today use technology in most parts of their life.

This video is a great argument for why iPads should be incorporated into the classroom - the biggest reason being the ability to stimulate students which something familiar, while enhancing their education at the same time.
