The podcast we created attempts to reflect the changes in teaching philosophy in regards to technology over time. We developed three characters: a teacher from the past, one from today’s world, and a teacher from the distant future.

Please sit back, relax, and enjoy our podcast…we had a blast making it. Please respond to the following questions. When finished, please feel free to shower us with compliments.

o Do the aspects of education that our teacher of the past mentioned (penmanship, spelling, and math facts) still have a place in today’s curriculum? If not, will there be consequences to eliminating these former essentials?

o How can we, as educators, better prepare our students to work and live in our future teacher’s world (considering that tomorrow’s occupations have yet to even be created)?

o If you had a chance to pick the brain of our robotic teacher of the future, what would you like to discuss with them?

...the devil you talking about?
