Is our Next-Gen moving in the right direction?

[shreyasnair]

We all have been through conservative schools and we infact hold the prestige of our teachings. Now a days a teaching technique without books and inquiry based has started. Do you think they are killing the reading skills of kids? Will the next gen think something other than technology? Have your say… :)

everything new has certain problems …but then it has own advantages that unfold as tym passes………:-)

The ultimate fact is: the things keep on changing and transformation is ever-exsisting universal law. Everything and every change on this earth has its own pros and cons.  A wise man has the ability to tune himself with ever changing terrain of this universe. Sounds philosophical……….but one has to understand that Scientifically or Philosophically this is only the ultimate evolution which has prevailed on this earth since eternity and that things only transform for better.

Shantanu & Tanya: Thank you for your valuable feedback. Even i agree that changes and evolution according to flow are really appreciable. The other day my daughter who attends and IB school I asked her to find out how many planets are there in the universe. In our times we used to open Manorama Year Book or an heavy encyclopedia. But she instantly logged in to Wikipedia. In sense is that killing her reading approach to books. Because I am an evident reader and don’t say everyone should. But still reading a book and surfing the internet is a vast difference.

Shreyas Ji,  on all points I consent with you that Internet and books are different.  Those heavy books are now transformed into 10 inch screens. But that does not imply that reading is dead. Web limits the scope of knowledge and understanding to a great extent. In all cases technology should be positively blended with our teaching tradition or else hampered reading skill will furthur deterioate writing skill, ability to grasp the things, knowlege and understanding of kids. And once if the graph goes down……………..technology can never help there.
