No technology?

Here is a school that has no technology whatsoever in it. Also in this video says about the parents views of sending their child to a school like this.


I found this video interesting as i thought that all schools had technology in them and also that most parents don't mind their children using technology. This video shows that children don't need technology to learn well. An advantage of children going to school is that they will learn more practical skills and activities as this is what their lessons are based on. Also because of their lesson plans they will also learn to maybe communicate better as they will be doing more teamwork than an average school. Although a disadvantage to going to this school would be that the children may not have access to technology anywhere else much so therefore they could fall behind in society when they leave school as society is based around technology.

An Aspect of Web 2: bubbl.us

There are many pros and cons to web 2 and the different aspects, the aspect that i have used myself and feel could be useful with education is bubbl.us. This website is for making mind maps which is very useful when planning assignments or for revision. This website is free, easy to use and also interesting to make. The good thing about this website is that when you want to add to or change your mind map you can always go back and do what you want. Another good thing about this site is that you don't have to just do it on the laptop at home, you can now do it on the go if you download the app. Unfortunately this app is only available on apple so if you have an android phone or tablet then you cannot get this app. Also another con of this website is that you can only do so many mind maps for free and then after that you have to pay. On the plus side whilst paying you get other options to add to your mind map to make it more creative and educational for your use. Overall i would recommend this site for any student to use as it is useful for any topic.
