Another thought!

1978... Referenced by the author in Chapter 1. My first year in college. I was a young 17 year old freshman. Not a computer in the whole school, except in the business office (a punch card reader!). Everyone still possessed a typewriter. Word processor? what was that? I never learned to use one. Throughout college, I was a key puncher, I could not keep my fingers on the keyboard. I kept a lot of erasable typing paper around. Ever watch Mr. Musson type? The two finger method. He was pretty accomplished, though.
About China and the English Language
Comments from an earlier discussion.
A few weeks back I was talking to Sigi Liang, about her skills with the English language. I did not realize that English was considered the "Universal Language." For that reason, all Chinese children are required to learn English.

21st Century Learning
The rate of speed that technology is growing is very can seem very overwhelming. Just thinking of the time spent doing research when I was in high school and college, and the access to materials and technology as available today online almost seems like the difference between night and day. I feel that I have left the "dark ages" of education and moved into some new "sci-fi" realm. As an educator, I'm excited about the possibilities available, but scared at the same time. Sometimes I feel that If I don't move, I am going to get left in the dust. Frankly, I don't know if I can actually keep up. Can you teach an "old dog new tricks?"
