I couldn't agree more. Technology will always progress. Change is inevitable. To ignore the changes is to miss a huge opportunity to revolutionize the learning and make it fun for the next generation. The challenge is how to bring these new resources to bear on the learning process.
I've taken my first steps with my new iPhone app - http://www.iwritehebrew.com. It's a simple game-like app for kids to learn how to print Hebrew letters. Soon, I hope to have cursive as well as other languages enabled.Of course, the app doesn't teach you everything about Hebrew, but it's a start. Learning a language is a challenging endeavor for anyone. But we should find new ways to stimulate our kids and ourselves in the context of the new technologies that arise.
