So...we just finished watching this really cool video about how far our technology has changed in the past few years. It was about all these different facts that take place all the time all over the world. It mentioned how we are preparing our future students for jobs that don't even exist, and trying to find answers for problems that also do not yet exist. One third of the information that I learned my freshman year in college will be outdated by the time I am a junior! Can you beleive that?! It was very interesting and made me think about how far our technology has been able to bring us and prepare us for our future. It also, kind of, made me feel ashamed for living in the United States, in the beginning, when it was talking about how China is actually doing more for their country than us. They have a surplus of jobs, while there are people in the U.S. struggling to find a job. They also have more Honors kids than we have kids. But towards the end i felt as if we are trying to make do with what we have to make our country a better place for everyone. I also forgot that they are a lot bigger than us and therefore have more to offer. This video helped me understand what my role as a teacher should be to help incoporate this change. I should help to introduce technology into the classroom that will help benefit the students and help take them to a higher level in their studies.
Heres the link to the video! Be sure to check it out!
