"If these walls could talk"

This video by Michael Wesch shows how even classrooms are more technologically based , a smaller classroom with less student is better. Classes in college now have at least 115 student. Teachers don't even know some of the students names. The work students are giving now are not always relevant to their lives, or the world now. They spend so much money on texts books they never open , or classes they never go to. Students spend more time reading Facebook pages, web pages, and emails than the work they are giving in class. Some write more emails then papers due for classes. They also spend less time doing school works then watching T.V , phones calls, online , listening to music, eating , working. They don't even study as much. Students have to multitask now. They spend all this money for college. Most never really learn much, some just drop out. When they finally realize that there in over they're heads on debt. Billions of people can't offered to go to college let alone pay for laptops that cost more then some people make in a year. People graduate from college thinking they're going to be at a jobs they went to college for, but some don't. Students didn't make these problems, but they have to deal with it. Students using laptops in class , are less likely to be doing class work. They spend most of they're time time during class surfing the web. Technology has help us alot, but has at the same time made alot of problems for us. Classrooms that write things out for student, are a lot better. They are more one on one. Students learn more and are less likely to be destracted.
