The Future of Work!
Video: It amazed me that 20 years ago we didn't even have internet, yet we rely on its daily use now.
K12 Experience: in my college BCA class, which was a dual enrollment class, we learned how to use all of the excel programs. We had specific assignments for each day and once we finished them, we got to work on whatever we wanted. Usually for me, that meant doing homework or playing around on the Internet. So in all cases this class did me good. I learned how to use Microsoft, bettered my Internet skills, as well as, finished my homework inside of school.

Quote: "A classroom suited to today’s students should deemphasize solitary piecework."
Response: I disagree with this quote because even though the future will be more technologically friendly and social media is becoming part of our every day lives, I think that everyone should also be able to depend on themselves instead of relying on others. If they are unfamiliar with something, then they should ask someone else to familiarize themselves with it, but only to learn how to do it themselves. My mother used to tell me that if I wanted something done right and to the best of my ability I had to do it myself, not with anyone else or having anyone else do it. Since the world is becoming more social, I see where they are coming from because we need to be able to communicate; in the end though, I believe that becoming social is a good thing but solitary work is what can really make a difference or help a person become better educated.

Picture: I found this in the sample pictures whenever we were learning how to do put things in a post. I believe it is a perfect example of the mixing of social and solitude work. Mrs. Lindstrom told me how to do it and I, by myself, clicked the buttons and learned. If she did it for me, I would never know how to do it myself.

My past, present, and future.
I am from Doddridge County. I now go to Fairmont State so that I can accomplish the title of my dream job, math teacher. My dream job is to be a high school math teacher in North Carolina. I want to be the kind of teacher that meets all of the needs of the student. If they learn from hearing it, I want to say it over and over. If they learn by writing it down, I want to provide them with plenty of examples to do. If they learn by seeing it, I plan on showing them a thousand times. If they learn by doing it, I will give them extra problems to work out. Everyone is different and I hope to reach out to every student in a different way. Whenever we learn about velocity or trig, I plan on doing an experiment I learned from the movie Warrior. We take a baseball bat and break a piece of wood. From that, we backtrack to find all the variables that have effected it. Whenever we learn sine, cosine, and tangent, I plan on letting them build triagles and measure everything themselves to do their own personal experiments.
