After watching a small portion of the video in class, the only objection I had was when the professor (I forget who she was), stated, "students need to be stimulated."
For some reason I kinda took offense to that statement, it almost sounds like we need to be occupied when at school. I guess you could compare it to putting a rattle in front of a 9 month old child to occupy them.
Although they are both not on the same level exactly, we dont need to be "stimulated" to learn, we need to focus, and get a decent amount of sleep the night before, thats really all there is to it

ReplyDeleteI think the woman you are speaking of is Turkle see this interview:

If you can form a well thought out argument responding to her comments, maybe you should post it to the appropriate section on the frontline site.
