This diversity is mirrored in the microcosm of the educational system too. Students come to college from various ethnic, financial, and academic backgrounds. A challenge for the educational system is to meet unique individual needs, thus inviting more citizens to become our students. Technology also is changing the life of every citizen. Personal computers, the World Wide Web, and email are tools that can aid in achieving personal and profession success.
Most technology is just a form of information system.
A teaching philosophy is a summative reflection of one s beliefs concerning many facets in education. Our educational system can derive strength from cultural values and goals, and by responding to cultural change. I believe in a movement toward an atmosphere of shared learning. Education has traditionally functioned by means of an older person s imparting their cultural wisdom and skills to a younger person. The authoritarian role has been filled by the teacher and the subordinate role by the student.
