Something funny happened on the way to the future

The best times and the very worst of times.

It used to be about how we present information but now it is about how we interact with information. We live and teach in a ridiculous and amazing time buuut there are a lot of obsticals. Presenter thinks schools sucks the fun out of learning.

7200! Kids drop out of school each day. 400 kids an hour.

We have made school standard and very vanilla. Presenter EVERY STUDENT NEEDS TO BAVE AN IEP. we tell students what not to do and never tell them what to do. We need to start breaking the rules.

Standardized testing and common core standards mcdonaldize education and makes everything very vanilla. The charge president Obama has chareged us to make is to make education interesting.

He talked several minutes about Sal Kahn and how it is false advertising. Anybody who could be replaced by a robot should.

We need to empower the students to ask and answer their on questions. Cell phones are not toys they are tools The presentor talks for several minutes on why we should use Facebook as a tool Solutions Never ever say I'm just a teacher one bad apple spoils the bunch so stop being negative. Superman is never coming and we are the army to save the world. And so,let's do something. It is not about us it is about the students. GAC factor. Give a crap Talk less and do more Flip the classroom. Have kids produce. Training is essential and we need to do the staff development. You don't have to be superman but we can change the world.
