In 1971, a poor young man was traveling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself. On the way, he had run out of his1.so he had no food to eat and had to live in his car.
One morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast. After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found he had to2.to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. He was so embarrassed(尴尬的) that his face turned red. The waiter, also the owner, walked behind the young man’s seat. He bent down(弯腰), and stood up3.a $20 bill in his hand. It seemed as if it had fallen on the floor. “Son, you must have dropped this.” the owner said. The young man was so4.that he couldn’t believe his eyes! He quickly5.for the breakfast and went out.
On the way out of town, he realized, “6.nobody dropped the money at all. Maybe the owner of the restaurant just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn’t embarrass me. What a kind person he is! 7.I have the chance in the future; I will do the same to help others.”
Now older, the man lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars to poor people. He is regarded8.the “Secret Father Christmas”, because at Christmas time each year, he personally hands money out to those homeless people on the streets. Last year, he gave more than $50,000 away in Kansas City.
“Books will soon be obsolete(废弃的，淘汰的) in schools,” Thomas Edison said in 1913: they would, he believed, soon be replaced by silent films. Each new invention has brought the similar predictions. And each time, the old technologies of books, classrooms and teachers have stayed.
Like teachers, educational technology comes in many forms, from wonderful to terrible. But, used properly, it now is important in schools, especially in pour areas.
The UN’s goals included that by 2015 all the world’s children would finish primary school. The goal has been achieved: nine out of ten children are now at school. However, the figure is not as brilliant as it sounds. Even most of the children go to school, a lot of them learn pretty much nothing there. A recent World Bank study shows, half of nine-year-old children in an African country can not read a simple word and a three-fourths can not read a simple sentence. The reason is terrible teaching. Only 7% of the teachers had the necessary knowledge and half the time the teacher was not in the classroom.
Paying teachers more, in hope of better ones, is not the answer. Many methods are tried and things don’t change much.
Several studies suggest ed-tech can help. It seems to have an effect. But it does not mean putting computers on schools in the hope that children will understand how to use them. If they do so, plenty of money is wasted. Instead, it means offering schools with software that children can use with a little help from an adult. In this way, we can get things right more often and many things can be in control.
Technology can not be everything. Good traditional teachers are not obsolete, but ed-tech can help greatly--both students and teachers in their own way.
