Chapter 10: Rethinking Education in a Technological World

This chapter basically reinforced everything that I have read in this book, along with brief descriptions of what changes need to be made and by who for this change to occur. For instance, for this change to occur we need to rethink what is most important for children to learn, the roles of leaders, the government's role, and rethinking careers.
Under the career section, the author states that thinking of a single career as the standard pattern leads people to think that they are done with learning when they finish school. This sentence stood out to me because I had never thought of it that way before. I definitely agree that when people are done with college and begin their career, they tend to think that they are done with school and done with learning. This thought hinders people from continually growing, which is not being a life long learner. Like I have stated in most of my blogs, I am undecided whether this change in our school system to a more technology rich society is worthwhile and important. However, being a life long learner is the major point that sways me away from the opposing side. I think it is so important to be a life long learner, and whoever chooses not to be, in my opinion, is unmotivated and doing themselves injustice. I am adamant about being a life long learner and I will instill this belief into all of my future students. So, whenever I doubt this inevitable change that is occurring, I will remember the importance of being a life long learner and creating new opportunities to learn, which a technology rich school society will provide.
