i already read the article about the Next Generation Learning..it was clearly stated that technology by all means will give positive impacts to the people around the world..children can create their own learning anytime and everywhere without much guidance from the teachers..they too can learn from many people that have the internet connection all over the place..it means that they will progress faster than before where all the info gathered from the teachers only..
having said that, i wonder what will happen to the children in rural areas..especially in malaysia..they still don't have all these connections..all the knowledge that they know are from the teachers..so, what would happen to them?while children in urban areas move forward in high speed, they still at the same pace..i think that this technology will widen the gap between them..would it be a good impact? well, this is what i had in mind..=p

well hanem, for rural area students, the only thing that can be done to minimize the gap with the urban learners is to teach them. that's the teacher's responsibility to at least give them an exposure about ICT. it is true that it is hard for the teacher to do that because of the limited internet access as well as lack of appropriate facilities provided by the school. but teacher should be creative enough to find other alternatives to achieve that objectives. one of the way, teacher should SPEAK UP to the administrators on the benefit of ICT and request the required facilities from the authority. that's what i think
well, we cannot do anything with the rural area problem as it depends on the people in the ministry of education to think a way to solve the problem.
as teachers to be, we should equip ourselves with all the necessary knowledge on technology as it will certainly help us in various situations.
