What in education is out of date like the wristwatch, "a single function device?"


What in education is out of date like the wristwatch, "a single function device?"

I think that the learning videos as teaching materials are almost aways out of date. I find that in my classes I am frequently stuck watching material from the 70’s. I spend the whole time laughing at the  fashion and hair styles rather than paying attention to the material. A lot of what is talked about doesn’t apply any more to the current circumstances of the world modern day. I think if teachers sought out more recent videos or  maybe had the class make new ones, It would strike the students in a different way and become more “multi-functional”. 
I also think that the concept of teacher talking and student listening is out dated. I think that students voice should be more utilized. This plays into the idea of students making there own videos. When they participate they learn more and I think teachers should talk less and listen more. More practice. More involvement. No one likes to be preached at.
