Education Nation by Milton Chen- Chapter 2

This chapter talks about how education needs to be more hands on.  We need to have different and more up todate learning styles, not the ones that are parents used back in the day.  There are so many different ways that we can teach our students with all the new technology that is coming out.  Here are the five main points that I feel impacted me the most in this chapter.
1. Education needs to be more project-based, research has shown that the achievement is higher in students.
2. We need to think globally by understanding and addressing issues in other countries.  Becoming more knowledgable is also another example.
3.  Film and music should also be included in schools. These two things can bring together many topics that are being taught in class.
4.  We need to understand that students bring their hearts and their minds to the classroom. 
5.  we have to know more and understand assesments.  Assesments and testing are not the same thing.
