Technology
and Learning
The video that I came across after searching the word “Children”
was titled Adora Svitak: What adults can learn from kids. Adora who is a
short story writer and blogger since the age seven, she is now 12 and she speaks
around the United States to adults and children as a believer for literacy. She
believes that children are more than what they are recognized for. She tells
the crowd that when children are given something to draw, they drew beyond
anything. Their imagination runs wild. She gives example how children have help
make the world a better place. For an example she names, Anne frank, whose book
inspired millions and millions of people across the world with her encounter
with the Holocaust. Another example she
uses is, a girl named Ruby Bridges who helped end segregation in the United
States. And finally a young boy by the name of Charlie Simpson, who helped
raised £120,000 pounds for Haiti. She tells the crowd that adults should learn
from children. That it should be reciprocal, children learning from adults as
adults should learn from children. What I learned what that, adults don’t realize
how smart kids are, they underestimate their abilities. She shares that when
she was younger; her parents bought her a laptop which she used to write hundreds
of short stories. Which one of them was later published and now used
everywhere. She also states that the
younger generations will bring the world forward, because they are the leaders
of tomorrow. The strength of using technology is that it helps with learning changes
reach their full potential. It’s there if you need additional information. The weakness
is that it is sometimes difficult to use when you don’t understand how to use
it.
