This Video that I embedded below is pretty interesting. It is about new technology that should be used in our education systems to improve learning.
I think that it could be a very good way to improve the way of learning for students of all ages.
Most students are bored with the classical methods and would be much more interested and engaged in their studies when they are combined with things they like doing for fun, like surfing on the internet, blogging or sharing things with their friends in social web pages.
There are still teachers and even some professors (yes, even in technical courses) who do not allow technical devices like laptops for working. And their reasoning may be true - most students really use them only for fun not learning - but they should find a way of integrating these things students enjoy with their teaching methods.
