Rewired Learning

Chapter 8 is the final chapter in The Third Teacher and it acknowledges the daunting fact that we're becoming so advanced technologically, that kids are losing out on the "hands on" experience. This is especially bad for the engineering and science fields. Why? The hands on experience allows for students to fail, and then learn and understand first hand why that happened. Failure is a great learning tool for students, and when they always get it right the first time, they aren't learning anything.
This chapter discusses the balance between technology and in-class learning. We need to allow our classroom to expand outside the walls but maintain the classroom setting. Do not allow technology to dictate how your classroom is run, but rather dictate how technology can be an asset in your teaching. What this means; keep up with technology and don't become obsolete.
