I think I have prepared well to engage in both type of learning Carpe Dien and St. Marys though I do not in class now. smartphone becomes more and more popular nowadays. More smartphones are purchasing than PCs from 2010 till now. More people are using mobile apps rather than web. Therefore, I think it is always a good idea to have some learning apps for kids. This not only provide parents opportunities to teach kids wherever they are and whenever they are, but can also allow kids to play around by themselves while they are playing with the smart phone.
I also agree that kids do not have any difficulties in using technology. They can feature out the new functions by themselves without being taught by anybody. Therefore, I think we need to put more time in guiding kids how to find useful resources and let them gain knowledge while playing the devices rather than teach them how to use mobile/ wireless devices.
I recommend that schools can have their course updated. Try to teach students more research knowledge and provide them more useful website or apps. Provide them elective courses about technology.
I think the mixture of 2 models is a good idea for the future education. Learn 21 century skills and learn by doing are both very important. In the future, I will let the students to recommend some good apps or website that they are using a lot in their study or website and share with their classmates. I will also ask them to give presentation of one topic and create slides, adding videos and pictures to present in front of class. Besides, I think to show them some research skills, teach them how to use database to do research may also useful for senior.
