Rethinking education chapter 7

When things in the world change there is often good and bad consequences that go along with the change.  In this chapter they talk about what may be lost or what may be gained with this new revolution that is happening in education.  They first talk about what aspects could be lost by this change that is happening.  They talked about how you could lose being in touch with other students, parents taking control of their education, multiculturalism, and people buying up resources to give their children unfair opportunities for their children, just to name a few.  These are aspects that could happen if things go on the way they are because there are signs of this happening now.  Things that we could gain are students can learn what they want to, the web is very accessible and more attention to the students if the family is taking care of it.  These are just a few things that could happen if this revolution continues.  I feel that change is inevitable and we have to except that as future educators.  We have to embrace it and help the students get the gains more then the losses that could occur.  No matter what change happens there are negatives and positives in every situation.  What you need to do is try to have more of the gains then more of the losses and try to cancel out the losses by implementing things where you could minimize them.  As a future educator I am going to want to help the students use these new resources that can help them go farther and try not to lose things that could be valuable that came from the traditional way of education.  It is very important to stay positive and make the best out of change when it happens.
