Growing up with Google

After read through this article, I cannot agree more that very aspects change: student change,technologies change,time change,
education change,and attitude toward education change as well. I know that today education became one kind of businesses and students are customers. The customer oriented approach is not something new for the business sector, but when we have to apply this approach to education, I feel a little strange. Absolutely educators have to change the way they teach and adopt technologies into the classroom.We should use technology because it can enhance the learning,not because it's a trend or other people use them.The new thing is not always better.

I would like to quote some part of this article about an awareness of applying technologies into education.
"digital comfort does not necessarily mean technology proficiency"
"Just because students know how to open a web browser educators should not assume that everyone knows how to search for information."
"How do we ensure that students develop the critical thinking skills necessary to survive and thrive in age when anything can be found on Internet"
