I heard a great presentation today on the digital age.  It was pretty exciting and yet scary to think about what kind of connected world we live in today.  The session was really about what adults need to know about the world our kids are living in today and how they are using technology for all aspects of their lives.  We can't stop it so we have to figure out how to join it and use what interest them.  I can see why they think school is boring an irrelevant...it is!   When they can instanly google and find out anything they want to know, when they can use their cell phones to figure out what size tip to make why would they think they need to memorize facts??   Be real...what purpose does it serve?   Knowledge is changing too fast and what you know today may be totally not relevant or even accurate in five years.   I was fascinated and quite shocked by the information share especially knowing that anything I put on this blog will be here FOREVER AND EVER!!!!!
