3 steps video

When watching the video for "3 steps" I thought it was one of the more intriguing videos. For one, because I recently read an article about a school taking chairs out of the classroom and replacing them with exercise balls. I see that in the video they used a similar approach using big bean bags. I wonder if it really helps students focus more and feel more stimulated. I also agree that we need to modernize our classrooms, take out the old desks and chairs and replace them with computer tables, and exercise balls. Cover the walls with stimulating things to look at and keep the mind flowing and creating. They tell you to keep lots of things around for babies and children to look at constantly, it is suppose to help them learn faster and more. Why then do we keep the schoolrooms in our high school dull and white? Doesn't really make sense. I also think that we need to teach students to compete with themselves, it would help them constantly progress. They need to also understand the value of cooperation and collaboration. It is what we do everyday in the "real" world, should students be learning it through out life instead of being thrown into it once they graduate?
