Today we can communicate with people all over the world, instantly, in real time, face to face. We can experience what it's like to climb Mount Everest, ride a rollercoaster, and visit the Taj Mahal whenever and wherever we are. Seventy-seven percent of all Americans now own a smart phone with more computing power than NASA had during the Apollo mission. Yet most American classroom look the same as they did in the early 1900's filled with rows of desks. How will we educate the leaders of tomorrow if we don't renovate and innovate education?
"We cannot continue to add on twenty-first-century expectations to a twentieth-century model of education"(@katiemartinedu). Education needs to be open to innovations, to embrace and not fear change because our students deserve it. We as educators need to be creative in our pedagogy, redesign it, renovate it, and make it relevant to today's students.
