Digital Aristotle
Maybe this is why some teachers are reluctant to commit to an online/digital classroom - they may think that in doing so they would become obsolete. I'm not sure I completely agree with Grey. Although I do believe people will be able to be guided/taught by a "Digital Aristotle", I do not believe that all students will want to do so. I'm not sure about others, but my biggest challenge is to motivate the unmotivated and challenge the motivated all within the same classroom. I can see how a "Digital Aristotle" will cater to each students' needs, but will it make a student want to learn? As he stated, there has always been a place to locate information, but not everyone has accessed this place (library). His thoughts makes me wonder, are more students reading now that they have digital devices that alleviate the trip to the library or bookstore? The thought excites me and scares me a little, I mean I do want have a job in the future, but if I can be a part of the process that encourages students to learn on their own, then I will enjoy education even more!
