Education in the Future

An in-class discussion really sparked my interest today about the world's education of the future. I took an educational psychology class last semester, so I feel a connection to this topic. The education of the future definitely worries me at times. I do plan on having children one day in my life, although not anytime soon. Yet, this is still a topic that will have an impact on our entire society in the future. 

Teachers really need to take an active roll in the learning process their students go through. As I mentioned in class, every student learns differently. The education of the future will depend on teachers to become more diverse and adapt to student's needs. 

In high school, I had a religion teacher who understood that people only have an attention span on 20 continuous minutes. So every 20 minutes we would either take a break to stretch, play a short game, or take a quick walk around the room. I'm not saying these ideas are the best, yet once we returned from our short break we could go back to concentrating on our work. Just some things to think about...

Peace & Love,
