Fortunately the majority of teachers are not like this, especially those involved in Primary education. ( In Australia this is the first 7 years of school-Kindergarten to Year 6) Teachers are adapting their teaching styles to cater for the major increase in the use of technology by students to make sure that learning is at a premium. Teaching is about taking into account the individual learning styles of their students and creating opportunities for maximum learning. School is no longer about learning facts but being able to source the facts they need making sure they use a viable reference and to use the information in some way. My experience is with younger students. It is not the technology that is the problem but parents not limiting the availability time. It is not suitable for a 10 year old to have a mobile phone where they are texting or calling friends throughout the night and not getting enough sleep. Parents need to restrict access and encourage other activities.

The Beyond Freedom Evolution is a 12 month web-based success education curriculum. Beyond Freedom Evolution is a tool that will give you new and insightful ways to look at life and how to effectively deal with the obstacles you will inevitably face. It is a collection of thought provoking and enlightening information, universal principles and personal perspectives for the situations that arise when one chooses to take full control of their life and take on achieving big goals. These concepts were forged in the heat of overcoming insurmountable adversity by people who refused to give up, and at the end of the day, had success. I am very happy to provide more information if you are interested. Regards Sandra Free
