"It is spreading because the flat-world platform that makes it possible is spreading and because uploading responds to a very deep human longing for individuals to participate and make their voices heard" (Friedman 124).
So the question is, "What should our students be learning?" Maybe our students should be learning how to have their voices heard. Many students don't like or enjoy school because they are bored and they are not doing what they like to do or are interested in, what if us as teachers had them give us an input on what they are interested in or gives us ideas on how to make our lessons interesting and fun for them or learn? What if we took technology and used "uploading" in the classroom for educational purposes. Possibly upload different videos, or different activities to get our students interacting with technology while they are learning. Technology is a big part of kids lives today, so that if we can get them learning by using technology that would be great. However, if they do not let us as teachers know what they want in the classroom and how they learn we can not help them with how our students should be learning.

I agree with you, Ash. Students aren't always given the opprotunity to speak in class. Lecturing needs to be replaced.
