I have many, many wonderful thoughts and feelings about 21st Century Education in the classroom, I believe it totally sets a new tone for learning. When I first started learning about this method in this class, I never really knew how many options were available to us and students across the world. My eyes have been opened to what a great effect this approach has taken on students today. When we went to visit Kellogg Elementary, I was truly amazed. We've been talking about all the technology & resources available throughout the semester, and to finally see it in "action" at Kellogg, was just awesome. These kids will be much better off in the long run to have started from the beginning, learning the basics, with 21st Century Learning, and they will make a big difference in the world. I wish I would have been privileged to learn this way, maybe I would be better prepared, and I wouldn't have struggled in high school with all the boring ways of teaching. After visiting Kellogg, I found myself being excited about becomming a teacher and teaching kids the way they should be taught in the 21st Century. The vibe that Kellogg gives off, just by walking through it, seems "right" and hearning Harold talk about how the kids interact with each other, tell us that they are ginuienly happy people.

I totally agree BETH! I mean, just think if all of us would have been using technology in grade school and not been making STRING ART. We would have been guiness's. I mean really! ;-)
your page is bright. it makes my retinas burn, just kidding. I think that there will be less kids that are bored.
I think it would be amazing if every school had the technology and equipment that Kellog had then every child could experience the 21st century technology they should be using!!! =)
I agree with you it was really cool to see it in action, harold talked about it and yeah it sounded nice but seeing it was ten times better. I really wish I could of been taught that way too but atleast we will get to teach children the 21st century way
I didn't go to Kellogg but from what I've heard it sounds pretty great. No one has said anything negative.
I completely agree. I was so inspired about being a teacher, simply from walking through that school. I know that I want to be a part of something that amazing.
yeah i do think that it was eye opening to see how a classroom in our area had a portal to the rest of the world. you dont think of our area having that technology but now that we do the possibilities are endless!
It is nice to know new teachers have something promising to look forward to rather than the same old boring stuff we've been doing sine pre-school.
I agree i cant to become a teacher and have an affect on a childs life
I agree...it made me excited to become a teacher more especially in knowing that it will only improve from here!
I definitely agree it'll be a grand day once the technology is everywhere. The first set of schools that have this kind of style all the way up will be truly amazing to see the kids after they finish with them and how far they go.
