that hasn't been invented yet." - Cathy N. Davidson
Response: As a future educator of elementary school students, this is definitely hard to fathom. Technology is increasing at such a rapid rate that the job market for todays high school graduates is rapidly changing. I have been in the work force for 15 years and have had the same job. Today's graduates will change jobs at least 4 times in the first 5 years after graduating from a college or university. The work force has changed since I started working to a computer based work environment. Elementary school age children need to be technologically advanced so that the United States can compete with other countries. Future and current educators need to embrace technology in the classroom and help students advance to their full potential.
