Digital Media: New Learners of the 21st Century

Digital Media: New Learners of the 21st Century was really interesting to me. In a way I have always thought of certain technology, such as video games, a lazy activity with no real use except for entertainment. After watching this movie I feel completely different about it. A man in the movie said "Humans dont learn from abstractions, they learn from experiences" These digital schools make it possible to learn in a whole new way, they are allowing kids to go out and see things how they want to see it. They are being able to physically observe things and then interpret it how they want, being inspired by creations in order to create. I agree with this learning process. I think in order to really learn something you need to experience it. It needs to make a lasting mark in your life that tells a story. What are the cons on schools like this? Is technology distracting us from observing our surroundings or is it helping us really see what is there?
