- W286673042 abstract "When the world is flat, you can innovate without having to -Thomas Friedman Agricultural education has always tried to be proactive rather than reactive to the world around us. We have overcome many challenges and have also been on the forefront of new and innovative ideas in the classroom. Our biggest challenge is right in front of us. Our students need to be well versed, not only in the ways of agriculture, but also how those ways can be centered on technology. More food for thought! Creating students who know and understand their own strengths and are able to sell themselves in the reality of a global market opens doors never dreamed of before. No small undertaking, but certainly attainable. It is easy to see the world is becoming flat when you call a customer service number and are suddenly talking to someone in another state or even country. Distance is no longer a concern when technology is in the picture. This article was put together by people living over a thousand miles apart through the use of technology. Without email and high speed internet or even cell phones, working on a project with someone who was not in your same area took weeks if not months, or was simply deemed impossible. Many of us enter a technological world everyday where, even though we are more technologically savvy than our parents, our students surpass us by miles. Their focus is technology driven whether it comes from cell phones, mp3 players or computers. They are able to do things faster and better this year than last due, in part, to technology. It is essential we bring that world into our classrooms and use it to teach even the most traditional of subjects. Agricultural education has been able to survive the test of time because we truly do teach our students premier leadership, personal growth and career success. But are we tapping into the techie nature of our students to teach them those same skills in a world where the next job may be outsourced simply because there was no connection made? Friedman's quote alludes to not having to emigrate. How can I use the concepts I already teach in my class to create students able to compete for agricultural jobs without having to emigrate to other states much less other countries? To find the answer, let's focus on the three aspects of a total program. Classroom Instruction I think it is fair to say most of us use technology in the planning and implementing of our lessons in the classroom. Internet provides a number of sites not only designated for Power Points, but that also gather a variety of web-based materials for all teachers. It is important to show our students how we use technology beyond the Proxima and Power Point shows seen in all classrooms. We should be encouraging our students to create new methods of doing everyday tasks through computers. Vail School District is one of the few in the nation that has a school entirely laptop and technology based. Every student is issued a laptop, textbooks are online and technology of varying sorts is seen throughout the school. What a great example for our students in showing them how computers, the Internet and the dreams of a few are now connecting classrooms with information nationwide. Teachers have always had areas of specialty and agricultural teachers are no different. We all have peers who are better with greenhouse management or agricultural communications than we could ever dream of being. Is it crazy to think we could share our expertise with not only our own students but with those down the road too? Why not use the same technology businesses use to connect a business based in the United States with one in India? The best teacher is the best thief has always been a great motto to teach by, but there is still no one better to teach something than the Highly Qualified one who wrote it. Now we all live in a world of tight budgets and penny pinching, but if we are providing our students with the best possible education by the best teachers, are we not meeting the demand of a society that needs technologically and agriculturally literate employees who understand how their world was made flat? …" @default.
