iSchool Revelation

I actually like the idea of the iSchool. I don't necessarily think that it's the solution to a broken school system - eliminating the use of paper and pencils and replacing them with computer technology is not necessarily going to fix the deeper problems of our education system; however, I do believe that it will be the future of our schools. We're already on our way to  starting the process of interchanging paper materials for electronic technology. For example, most assignments are typed up, using a computer - hardly any assignments are turned in hand-written, anymore. Also, a lot of assignments are accessible, completed and submitted online - blog posts, online discussions, papers, the syllabus, class calendars, assignment descriptions, etc... For most of my classes, all of my work is completed and submitted through the computer, and I hear things everyday about new electronic technology being incorporated into our school system. I'm excited about this progress. I've always liked using technology, as well as being able to incorporate it into my schooling. Granted, there are some downfalls to this system , like there is going to be in any system, but for the most part, I view the iSchool revelation as positive.
