Summer Time Inspiration

I start off every summer with  high hopes of getting lots of stuff done.  You know... spring clean the house,  clean out closets,  get organized,  read some good educational books that will help me be a better administrator.  Well,  I'm headed back to work Monday and I didn't get the house cleaned, nor the closets. But, I did have a great time with my grandson.  Just on the verge of turning 3, he spends the days exploring his world both inside and out.  One of his great explorations is my IPAD.   What is it, that small children and electronics seem to understand each other?  He can work the thing almost better than me.  He can turn it on and slide right to his page where the games are located.  Needless to say, he knows all his colors and several letters in his name.  Every time he comes to Nana's house he asks "nana where's your puter?"    Willard Daggett, author of Rigor and Relevance,  talks about preparing our nation's children for jobs that haven't been created yet.  Which makes me think, are we preparing our children for the future?  And what will that future look like?  In thinking about my interactions with my grandson and the IPAD,  I've learned that I need to empower my teachers to become as tech savvy as their young students. I would love to hear what you think?   And don't forget that each experience is a learning experience. So,  what did you learn today?
