Harry is adorable! This video shows how much the dynamics of the classroom has changed over the last 20 or so years. I like the remark he makes about sitting in chairs all day being boring. Boredom is likely one of the top pitfalls for a student with declining grades. They are more likely to drift away into a daydream and miss the lecture if they are sitting still for hours a day. The fitness exercises is such a great idea for the classroom. With childhood obesity becoming an epidemic, this could be a great tool for all schools to use.
It is a good idea to begin introducing new technology in elementary grades. The early exposure will prepare them for more advanced technology in middle and high school. Allowing the kids to checkout laptops for those who do not have one at home is very beneficial to them. Using this technology, parents are able to download and view homework assignments along with their child. They can also share in the experience of a field trip they may have missed due to work. I wish this had been available when my kids were younger! I agree that parents, like Harry's mom, need to strongly encourage schools to make technology a larger part of the daily curriculum.
