Education Needs A Digital Upgrade

In her article, Ms. Heffernan argues the point that not only do we need to do more to incorporate modern technology in our education system, but also we need to restructure how we teach students.  Ms. Heffernan believes that a return to more archaic system of education, retooled for the digital age, would better prepare students for jobs that don’t even exist yet.  To support her ideas, she largely cites a book called “Now You See It” written by Cathy Davidson.  Unfortunately, her lack of multiple sources results in this op-ed piece sounding much like a plug for Ms. Davidsons book by the end.

            I tend to agree that incorporating technology into our educational system is important and to instruct students on how to use outside sources to supplement the information in the classroom.
