Exit Slip - Educational Revolution, Sept. 21


                 Humanity substantially changed throughout the past century -- yet education within the school system has stayed quite stagnant and unchanged. By using technology as a progressive innovative teaching aid towards students. The current standardized western view of education is passive -- not active learning. Using video to supplement or replace lectures allows for more collaborative and social problem solving within the classroom as it allows for more time. This also alleviates the allocation of time for the teacher as he/she gets to partition their time for effectively, spending more item to aid and suggest students rather than lecturing. Even though technology in the classroom may be seen as distracting, especially with new necessities of cellphones and devices. However, as a society if we see technology as a part of educational realm, the dichotomy of schooling and technology may be less apparent.

                  Despite favouritism towards the integration of technology towards classic education, there are realistic concerns and exploitations that may occur. I believe that the success of flip classrooms are dependent on the community culture which the program is integrated within. Flip classrooms has been progressively popular within the European schools, yet has been scarce in North America. This discrepancy may be due to difference in the philosophy and culture towards education. Exploitation of this idea may promote individual student who don't value education, leading to potential slacking. Due to difficulty to regulate, monitor, and confirm the completion of watching videos may be catastrophic towards the view and learning of students in need. However, gradual implication towards schools which are open-minded and build a community centralized towards education may be optimal. Gradually, this may cause a cultural and educational revolution towards the neotechnoeducational era.
