Thing #23 - The End

Wow! I made it! It only took 2 tries, but here I am with over 2 weeks to go. YAHOO! Yet, my learning is going to continue forever.

I have loved learning about so many things that are out there. I have thought so much (and continue to think) about how the education world needs to catch up to the digital world - quickly before we lose students who don't see the relevance to school. I recently went to a credit recovery conference, and the biggest thing is companies putting courses online to reach students. If computer programs can replace instruction now, where will we be in a few years if things don't change?

I loved the video for this last thing. I sent the link (alternate - not the YouTube link due to it being blocked at school) to the Director of Technology and the Technology Committee Chair to see if they have seen it, if the committee members have seen it, and if maybe the whole district should see it. It really makes you think about the disconnect.

Thank you for this experience. It has been invaluable.
