Blog Post #2 Mr Winkle Wakes

My understanding of Mr. Winkle is that after waking up after 100yrs he finds that many things had changed. He really don't understand all the new technology and travels through the city to different places to find that everything is much more advanced. Mr. Winkles is somewhat confused and the thought of it all makes him sick. Mr. Winkle goes to the hospital and finds out that its even worst there.
When he decides to go to the school, he finds that it has not changed. The classroom setting is the same and the children are bored. There is a computer in the back of the classroom but they are not using it. This is an example of not using the tools that are given to you to help in the classroom. I feel that teachers should use all tool and new ideas that are provided. Prior beliefs of some teachers will hinder them from advancing the classroom experience for their students. I think this is unfair to the students and they fall behind other students who are given the opportunity to use new devices and ideas provided by their teachers.
