What is the difference with educational change?
I agree that in some cases we still teach from an industrial educational standpoint. We have not transformed our educational systems as we should have. A lot of times individuals will say that the quality of the education in the United States is down compared to other countries or how students are better prepared in other countries.

I think that it is important that educators understand that they may not be able to teach the way in which they were taught. I think that educators have to learn how to bring media into the classroom without compromising or devaluing learning outcomes. I believe that educators have to learn how to tap into their own creativity as well as for students. Not all students learn the same way, so teachers need to understand that I may have to learn how to meet students where they are and to help them reach their true
