Assignment 1

After reading these two articles I must say that I tend to side with the opinion that is pro-advancement of technology in the classroom today.
While I think that not all advancement is positive, I think that Reigeluth has most of it right. The forward thinking that really drew me to his opinion was the old trend of the boss being "king" to the customer being "king". As a business owner, I think that trend of thinking is an important role to succeeding today.

However, using that thinking in the classroom may be ineffective. I think that while we should cater to students different types of learning, the teacher should ultimately be king and respected as such.

I think that Postman is out of touch with reality here. While I think that schools are nowhere near a point where they could be replaced, I think that "information glut" as he calls it, is nowhere near as bad as he thinks it is. While the advent of the internet has drastically opened up the ways in which we recieve information, if we carefully pick how we gather said information one can absorb it in a non-gluttonous way.
