Recently in Bangkok, near the MBK Mega Shopping Mall, I stumbled upon these sidewalk sculptures. Look closely at what is in his hand...ahhh a pda!There were many different sculptures each situated on a sidewalk bench and each displayed different technology tools. If you have been in Bangkok you must know that hundreds of people must walk pass them each day, as busy as Bangkok.
Which is the point-technology is ubiquitous- everywhere we go. The Net Generation is so familiar they just walk by, nothing new to them. So why in education do we revert to lecturing, paper writing and test taking? We're missing a perfect opportunity.
