Technology continues to take significant strides and we rely on it more and more in our everyday lives.  Although we continue to integrate technology with our social interaction rely on it to function in our daily lives, the question remains: why is technology and the educationsystem so disjointed? 

I have seen a child just over the age of one interact with an iPad and found myself shocked to see him interact with it; from choosing theapp (he swiped the screen until he found the app he recognized) to using it and understanding the app – it was amazing to watch.

Youth spend plenty of time interacting with technology outside of the classroom, but when will there be a push for technology to be in the classroom and serve as a catalyst and tool for learning?

Your guess is as good as mine - but while building Digital Butter Vancouver, we came across this great video by Salman Khan, that demonstrates how powerful technology can be when used as an educational tool.

Khan simply uses video demonstrations to teach people, and I say people because he does not discriminate based on age or discipline. The tools he has developed allow others to track students progress, focus on areas of difficulty, not to mention allowing people to listen and learn at their own pace without feeling belittled by ‘not getting it’.

Khan goes on to propose that the need to use each other in a ‘one-classroom world’ is essential to achieving our full potential – and we agree. If we can stay more up-to-date with our friends via social media, why wouldn’t the same principle apply to education?  The answer is so obvious because we can.

As a web agency based out of Hong Kong and Vancouver we believe that the lack of technology in the classroom is a global issue and we think there will be more and more suitable solutions offered in the near future, view the TED video below to see for yourself:

Do you agree or disagree? What tools do you think would improve the global education system?  Would love to hear your thoughts.

Inheritance in JavaScript is kind of a touchy subject since it is one of those JavaScript things where it feels like whoever designed the language couldn't really decide how it should have been done (prototypal or classical) and everyone else can't decide what the best practice for it is. This is also compounded by the fact that JavaScript is such a flexible language that if you really wanted to, you could implement a way of re-using code differently in every single project that you do.
