Growing up Online

I think that the technology on our school right now is fairly reliable and up to date enough for what we use it for. but even so, there are new technologies emerging all the time and it's hard, and expensive to keep up with whats out there. but it is the students that are more abnle to use the technology, more then the teachers in many cases. i feel that it is important for teachers to be as able as students in useung it. technology has certainly made school alot easier for students, they can just look something up on the internet instead of looking through books for it. most of the books that we have to read in class are out of date, and many kids don't care much for them so they just end up never even opening them, and just using spark notes or something similar. the education system should update the books to something more relatable for todays modern teen. i know that many teachers feels that the books that are being used now are great works of literature and that they should be passed on to the next generation, but very few students feel the same. i don't believe that if there were 27 hours in a day that an average student would spend them reading hamlet, although it would help. i think that the extra time would be spent catching up on sleep or hanging out with some friends, blowing off some steam. i don't think that it matters if a student reads shakespear on their own or not, they are going to study it in high school anyway. but no matter what, i think that everyone should study at least one shakespear tragedy and one comedy for knowledge and culture sake.
