Mr. Winkle Wakes

This video was very interesting to say the least. I'm not shocked at all by this video though. Mr. Winkle got a lot of surprises when he woke up and went around town and saw all of the new advancements in technology in the last 100 years. To say the least, he was not happy about any of this and was a little afraid of being in this "new" world. Mr. Winkle seemed to be lost and then he went to the school and was relieved that nothing had changed with the teaching.

When I said this video did not shock, I meant it because the schools really have not changed much in their teaching. Yes there are computers in the classrooms and there is some new technology but all in all the teaching methods have not changed and that is something that needs to change. The teaching methods need to be updated with the technology or else our students will get lost because outside of the classroom they are using all of this technology.

  1. Another point made by the video was that there were computers. But they were not being used!
