Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: If curriculum is organized around a particular textbook, it may incur the same criticism that textbooks usually receive; they tend to be general, noncontroversial, and bland. Because they try to reach the largest audience possible, they fail to meet the needs or interests of any particular group or individual. Textbooks can be superficial and can discourage critical analysis and evaluation, and it would be better for a curriculum to encourage these skills. The benefits of consulting a textbook are that it provides an outline for planning lessons, summarizes large amounts of information, and supplies additional resources.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Children are more proficient in the use of technology. Their teachers, parents and education curriculum must make the change to adjust the focus to a more diverse selection of technology. It has forced the educational system to contribute more financial and human resources in keeping up with the speed at which children are learning new technology.
