We are now expecting our first baby I am 11 weeks along and so excited for him or her- I just can't wait!!I have always wanted to go into elementary education and can't wait to be done with school so that I can get out there and teach.

This article talks about this “Great Transformation” affecting nearly all members of the human society. This article has different specialist talk on a topic dealing with technology such as: Cultural anthropologist, Jennifer James, discusses the disruptions caused by unprecedented change and the new, adaptive strategies needed to cope and thrive. Edward Gordon describes the 2010 jobs meltdown as the forces of technology, globalization and demographics disrupt the modern workforce and usher in new demands, especially for those preparing future workers.

In this article a lady by the name of Brenda Winkler, the tech-savvy superintendent of the Kutztown Area School District wanted to get laptops for every one of the high school students in this area. A year later students were able to have Apple iBook computers equipped with a wide range of multimedia and productivity software to enhance teaching and learning. Students are able to do more and work more efficiently on school assignments.

This article talks about a brief chronological history of some of the more interesting ideas and developments. These were some of the specific areas that this article talked about: The Global Economy, The Scientific Information Explosion, New Educational Demands, The first computers, and so on. One thing that stood out to me in this article was this statement: Broadly speaking, the two major functions of education are to transmit the culture, values and lessons of the past to the current generation; and to prepare our children for the world in which they will live. Preparing children for the world in which they will live is becoming more difficult than ever. In retrospect, there has been a confluence of changes that have significantly impacted the direction of modern education.
