No Child Left Untableted

I feel as though this is a common issue today with all of our technological advancements and finding ways to make our education more enjoyable. As Klein stated, students will learn much better if we adapt to their learning style. The opening statement with young educator Sally Hurd Smith, demonstrates a bit of selfishness in her way of reasoning about the situation. She's only thinking about herself and what "she" likes better but not overall the entire class and what suits her students. This transition will boost the students' enthusiasm in the classroom in terms, making school more enjoyable for both the student and the teacher. Pull out a book and watch 50 kids moan and groan at you and perhaps even refuse to complete the assignment, or complete it but not at the best if their abilities. But pull out a tablet and watch all of their eyes sparkle with excitement. You'll be fascinated at the fact that there CAN be new ways to educate a population. I think the best thing to do would be to engage in this type learning, test it out and if it doesn't raise test scores and improve learning then we can analyze and change the learning styles.
