Some schools are quite ahead in being technology driven. It was interesting to see a grade 5 kid in the hallway of such a school yesterday, doing an open book podcast for a science quiz. When inquired students were given choice to write or record verbally their test. Students who go for podcast quiz, score better than they when they do written tests. The idea is really cool but at the same time arn't we going to make such students lag behind in their writting skills. Students have also been noticed to write text messaging language in quizes. Looks like, gone are the days when cursive writting was given importance.
