In one of my education classes we looked at video on youtube. It was sort of like the video we watched about technology, but this video shows the diversity of America. I thought it was very interesting because I did not realize how much our world is changing. We as the future teachers need to know that we can not teach the same for every generation. Even today, I think that the curriculum and the expectations are different than when I was in elementray or middle school. The students are learning so much more at a younger age and the classrooms are more multicultural and this will continue.
Kids these days are smarter because they have the technology all around them to learn. Children TV shows are helping them learn at such a young age that when they go to school they are ready for more. So the curriculm now has to change and instead of learning just 1 plus 2 equals 3, the students will be learning that 2 is greater than 1. I know that even some of the work being done in middle schools today, I didn't learn until I was in high school, and that wasn't too long ago.
Take a look at this video. It is very intersting, and it makes you think about the education around the world. More and more new information is being developed everyday and as teachers we need to make sure our students will be ready for anything when they go into the real world.

You are correct, Chrissy!
We need to modify our teaching practices to reach all studnts. Some may learn traditionally, while others will not.
Take a look at this video and see what you think

you are quite right, teaching is changing along with much of the technology in this world. This in a sense forces us to change along with it to reach all students.
