Education and Technology

Today's employers are looking for employees that have computer skills and according to a current manager at Covenant Transport, all future mechanics will need training after high school.

Schools are trying figure out how they can meet state requirements, while meeting the individual needs of students as they think about the students' futures. Some high schools are doing this by offering college credit to students as part of the regular high school curriculum and offering a choice of courses in various career pathways. My vision is to see education become more individualized and customized toward a path that is chosen by parents and students.

Watch for postings about my response to the reading of "The World is Flat", by Thomas Friedman.
