What were you doing 10 years ago? Mark Zuckerberg was
creating Facebook. Our students today will have jobs that don’t even exist
today. Think about that for a minute. Many of us use Facebook on a daily basis.
Just last night, I chatted with a friend in Alaska, I made a tentative date to
meet up with some friends that I haven’t seen since college, I looked at a
friend’s new baby pictures, I played an online game, I checked out the weather
conditions around my state, and I discussed the Winter Olympics with people I
have never met. I was able to do all of that in the comfort of my living room
while sitting in front of the fire. All of that, too, in
about 15 minutes. If it was 2002, I would not have been able to do all of that,
because Facebook did not exist, at least not outside of Mark Zuckerberg’s
world. Here’s
a recap of Facebook’s first 10 years.
We are teaching the future. We are called to be 21st
Century Educators. Are you up for the call?
