US kids need to catch up. Kids in S. Korea, Japan, (now) China, and Europe are being taught from the computer--their personal computer. Teachers are advisors, encouragers of their learning experiences via the computer! Now is the opportunity for the poor kids of America to catch up and earn a place in the sun. US Kids enjoy the computer as a vehicle of social communication. Now, it's time for them to learn to lean on it for personal growth and development.
It's true, the poor kids in the US are not given the computer as their own instructive source.
School recess will become longer and more meaningful than ever because it's the chance to flex their bodies and leave their computers on their desks!
Instruction through the computer is about to take off in Africa and in South America. Can the US join in this global effort to make learning a lifelong experience via dissemination of knowledge through each individual's reliance upon the computer?
Universities, currently, are struggling in this country to offer online instruction as the primary source for knowledge student acquisition. But we've come a long ways in some 50 years when University of Illinois students were first introduced to the PLATO online courses through noisy machines.
Don't hold back this chance of opportunity to bring American students up to international standards of futuristic education already designed and implemented--please, American educators become leaders into the future.
