Our Greatest missed Opportunity?

This article shared an article that was about how this group of high school students were creating computer programs alongside processionals for elementary school teachers. At the end of the article it says that people dont like this type of teaching because too much technology is involved. Turns out the article is from 1983.

The article you shared was very interesting
I would of never know it was from so long ago unless I was told so. I believe that some people still believe that computers are involved in too much of school but that is where the future is taking us and rather than backing away from it we need to embrace it. Thank you for the very informative article.

Mom and Dad: How they spend their weekdays (1965 and 2011)

This article showed a chart had showed how mothers and fathers spend their day in 1965 compared to how they spend their day in 2011. One of the major differences in the chart was how many hours the mothers work a week and how fathers help out with childcare more in 2011.

The bar graph is really interesting. I like how it shows the differences in how mothers and fathers spend their workweek. The way the graph is organized makes it really easy to see what has changed and what has stayed the same for the most part. It is important to keep track of this information because we need to know how we have changed over the years, weather it be for the good or bad.
