Seeing first-hand to make it become real
As an educator, I try to incorporate a hands-on experience with what we learn and see and read about.
We have been discussing the aftermath of the hurricane along with global warming and how that has and will continue to affect millions of lives.
Last night, my kids were able to see some of that.
We had dinner near Atlantic City with my cousin. He and his company, Alabama Power, drove a massive caravan up to our area to help the power restoration process. We toured the staging area which was quite impressive. With my military background, it reminded me of how our armed forces mobilize large units such as this to help. I believe my kids will remember tonight and in doing so I hope will aid them in making a positive impact on our society.
Peter Thiel’s views on the future/independent colony off of CA
I’ve discussed the evolving face of education before in earlier posts, but I guess I’m just so fascinated with the way our future is changing as a result of technology that I keep reading more about the topic. And the change will have a massive effect on our children’s academic endeavors, their careers, and where they choose to live just to name a few. Remember the cartoon, “The Jetsons”? Is that where we’re headed? Will our kids even bother with the old school college model if they can harness their interests and turn them into careers? Are those running the elite, competitive universities cringing with the changes that are taking place or are they embracing them? So interesting..
