We should be able to bring our own devices to school?

I think that Tautoro School students should be able to bring their own devices to school as the cost of paying for a new device can be too much for any family.

I think it would be great to bring a smartphone or digital device from home to school because it’s one of the easiest ways to see where you child are when you are worried about them. You might even be lucky to have a GPS to track down where your child has gone.

What are some easy ways to connect with friends and family?

Facebook, Emails, hangouts and other site will be able to connect with friends and family.

BUT WHY do we need to have these types of devices in school?

Saying that it has always been this way, doesn’t count as a legitimate justification to why it should stay that way. Teachers and administrators all over the world are doing amazing things, but some of the things we are still doing, despite all the new solutions, research and ideas out there is, to put it mildly, incredible.

I’m not saying we should just make the current system better… we should change it into something else.

I have compiled a list of 14 things that are obsolete in 21st century schools and it is my hope that this will inspire lively discussions about the future of education.
