Computers have become wholly unfettered, reaching their full potential as tools for teaching and learning. We placed greater emphasis on expertness, genuineness and style rather than just discipline and classroom management skills. Education today is easier, more efficient. Students are enthusiastic and motivated, a welcome relief for us all. Students and even teachers who were unenthusiastic with one setting, style or system were empowered to opt for others.
All children can learn.
Looking back, one of the biggest breakthroughs came with the advent of inexpensive portable devices that made the once-elusive distributed learning model much easier for students, parents and teachers to experience. This new class of technology was the missing link. Equipped with these powerful tools we were able to match learning styles with teaching approaches. Learning today is more relevant and personalized. Before the end of the first decade, achievement hit new heights.
