Hi Boys and Girls.. I hope you have had a great week.
This is a new activity for you: a video
You have to watch the video and answer these questions. You can send your answers to my e-mail or write them down here as comments. I’m eager to read you!
Deadline: November 22th, 2014
Questions:
- How has technology changed in thirty years? Give 3 examples
- Why do you think people consider computing technology a “science” now, but it wasn’t considered like that before?
- Why does Nicholas Negroponte consider “One Laptop Per Child” such an important idea?
- At the end of his talk Nicholas Negroponte said "My prediction is that we are going to ingest information. You're going to swallow a pill and know English. You're going to swallow a pill and know Shakespeare" Do you agree? How do you think this will affect education and specially language learning?
