Gone are the days when students learned from book.
Students of Anaheim hills are learning about China with a three-minute video clip from Discovery Atlas. The program called KOCE-TV is used to distribute lessons for teachers using different media forms, like video clips from United Streaming, questions with Web sites to find the answers and KOCE provides lesson plans for teachers.The program is a product of Telecommunications of Orange County, a 30-year-old program providing multimedia instructional materials to teachers nationwide.
Technology is making life easier for teachers and students, but at what cost? Is all the visual stimulation a good thing? Does it stifle a students creativity? These questions can only be answered in time.
