The federal government recently released the new ed-tech plan on Friday, March 5, 2010. This new plan focuses more on inter-classroom learning and teaching, utilizing a multiple teacher approach to learning, through technology use. The idea is to gear learning more towards the way that students now communicate and interact on a daily basis outside of school. Although this will give them more exposure to the type of environment that they are likely to experience in the working world, I wonder if we are setting a trend of allowing social interactions to govern teaching styles. One thing is for sure though. There will be a change in teaching methods in the near future. As always, change brings heartache, for we are truly creatures of habit.

As good as the plan seems, it appears that no plan for funding has been decided or set aside.
