All Ages Allowing Students to explore the tech themselves?

That would not be bad idea, considering most students nowadays already have easy access to technology and the Internet.
However, there should still be guidance and moderation from the teacher due to the fact that there are still 'not so good' side of the Internet that might have a bad influence to the students.
Add also the fact that false information is rampant online, so all the more that the teacher must guide the students when they do explore the tech themselves.
 
On my opinion this may be a very good approach on how learners can acquire knowledge faster and effective ways.One thing is learning in theory and a different one implementing learned things in practice.Theory conception is useful, but on some level or even more is the practical learning way.Practicing something all over again helps us memorize it quicker.I think overall it would be an excellent idea to introduce practical learning methods in every school.That could help children more in their learning experience.
 
This is something I have imagined as the future of learning. With information being readily available to be accessed every day, "learning by doing" is a good approach to apply when teaching students. This teaching method is more interactive and can keep your students engaged which improves retention of information. You can still do the traditional classroom teaching method and combine with the experiential type of teaching. Nevertheless, regardless of your teaching style, you can always give surprise quizzes, oral recitation and even ask your students to do an on-the-spot demo to they check if they have fully understood the lessons.
 
Most of the students now a days already owned a gadget, they are already exploring it, that's why the teachers role now is to remind them what they should keep away on the internet, or what they should the students should do to keep safe using the technology. Specially they should be familiarize on scamming and human trafficking because criminals is now using technology to bait. That is why our role is to keep on reminding the students to be safe.
