Thing 4

Wow. These postings have really made me thing how fast the technology and communications has changed just since I finished college. I though I was really advanced when I typed my term papers on my Apple II computer. Research was done through hours in the college library (yes library and not media center). The world has certainly changed and I agree that educational institutions have not caught up to the global perspective our young people need to be have in order to become competitive in the world market. We as educators want to keep the traditions in which we are familiar and comfortable. I want to become a lifelong learner and much of this is a little scary, especially since I am one of the few people on the planet who has never been on Ebay, Myspace or Facebook. But I want to remain relevant and help those whom I touch to grow and develop. I especially like the saying listed in one of the blogs about we are no longer what we own but rather what we share. I look forward to growing as well in order to share.
