The video goes into depth about why technology needs to be used and how it can be done on a daily basis. It can be used to convince other colleges that technology in the classroom is essential learning.

Learning the Alphabet, the Presidents list, the States in Alphabetical order all all have to do with recalling some type of information. In middle and high school, we tended to do a little bit more “Analysing”. More compare and contrast activities were used - activities like writing about characters in a book and comparing them, discussing the attitude of the American people during WWII and why they felt certain ways, or listening to two pieces of music and comparing them. College brought more evaluation and creativity. Because I was a music major, I was constantly preparing (creating) music and presenting it to others to be evaluated. I was also evaluating the presentations of others quite heavily.

He did not support teaching to the test or preparing students to take tests well. In this cartoon, we see a boss upset with the way his employee has been taught in school - to simply answer questions on a test. If this student had been taught real life applications to subjects taught in school like Dewey suggests, he would have been more prepared for his job.
