5. My Philosophy of Education
Most students find school to be incredibly boring (hence the overwhelming texting during classes)
Today’s teens are efficient, multi-tasking individuals that need to be engaged in the learning process
The world is indeed flat
Jobs of the future require teamwork, globalization, networking, technological and creative problem-solving skills
It IS possible to be active, have fun, and learn at the same time

6. Evidence to Support My Theories
Fr. Guido Sarducci’s Five Minute College
Did You Know 3.0 Official
I meet the creator at a tech conference 1/2010.
Microsoft Clip “Digital Life”

Respectful (no insults, destructive criticism, etc)
Attentive (to whomever has the “stand”)
Collaborative (teamwork, regardless of the members)
Creative (tap into the right side of the brain)
Inquisitive (be excited about something)
Critical Thinking (seriously consider the possibilities)
Problem-Solving (see opportunities, not obstacles)
