Homework: Read Chapter 3

I understand that our society is changing and it has been for many years as explained in chapter 3. People change and lifestyles change due to our new inventions and our government. I feel with new inventions comes new challenges that we must all face and learn how to deal with effectively. Educating our children in this new "conceptual age" is one of the most important challenges that we face today. For those of us who have been teaching for a while this may prove to be more difficult. A lot needs to change before we will begin to see more technology used in the classroom. Due to the public knowlegde of how well a school district performs on standardize testing, pressure is put on all involved to "make the grade". I think once we see a change from that direction we will feel more comfortable and at ease exploring new options for educating our children.
