These are my thoughts exactly! I for one am not willing to sit around and watch the world go by. I am a part of the generation that is an “unprecedented force for change,” and we are actively inducing and creating change that will be beneficial and relevant to the world today and tomorrow.

Teachers are no longer “transmitters of data,” but active participants in the student’s learning process. The point of education is not to teach to perform well on tests, but rather to teach an individual to think, process information, and communicate, to create a knowledgeable individual that can be successful in the real world.

If school became an interactive place where both students and teachers put their two cents in: teachers teaching students, students teaching students, teachers sharing ideas and students executing these ideas-school would be great.

I am aware that in all other areas of impact technology has taken its course and replaced the traditional hierarchies, which we would now consider to be the “teacher oriented” educational plan, but the real issue is, in so many places education is rigid and all about regurgitation of information. How do we look past that?
This is a test. Several comments were highlighted in Diigo and sent to my blog. This consisted of the original blog entry and replies.
