A challenging subject

Well, about what I think, I will be able to get of these course, I think it will be new tools to create classes more interesting to my students, I will receive newer ideas to implement in the classroom and also outside with my students, a new perspective of the world for me and them, to be more challenging but at the same time more fascinating, than a dry test wit multiple selection answers or rigidly academic tests to answer.
About the future of the education, today the youngsters, the students are not believing in waiting or hierarchy. They do not want for example, to obtain “good grades” and years of experience to have access to the most oldest and valuable books or newspapers in a library for example, if you are studying history major. Or to hear patiently when you talk about the ancient and valuable paintings in The Louvre museum, because many of

your students maybe have traveled to that museum and you not. Our education in the future will not have rigid classrooms and with static and rigid rows inside. Will be more about getting to the subject in the most real way possible. Talking about civic? No standardized tests, and no yes or no answers tests, it will be maybe assigning groups to emulate a political campaign maybe in Ohio in 1875, for example. Or assigning groups to debate controversial themes, with no political correctness, only speaking the truth. Nobody will snore in that class.

Maybe more drama reenactment of historic facts, or go trough a forest near to the school with a gps in a geography class. Really the internet is a big challenge for us teachers in these ever connected world. But we must remember that the internet is full of false information and here is that we must shine, giving our life experience to help our students to try to identify the truth from the hoax.
