We live in a digital society where students can access information at their fingertips in an instant. At Fulton County's Summer Summit, Amy Barger, discussed the progression of our society over time and its impact on our educational framework. When schools were first developed, their primary purpose was to prepare students for the agricultural society. When our society became more industrial, schools trained students to be more passive, follow rules, and complete simple tasks. Today, we must prepare our students for today's digital society. Our students' role in their own education is changing, thus our role as a teacher is changing. What will you do to prepare your students for the 21st century education?
