Chapter 1:Quote
“...What happens to learning when we move from the stable infrastructure of the twentieth century to the fluid infrastructure of the twenty-first century, where technology is constantly creating and responding to change?1”

Question: I wonder how long it will take before all master learners accept their new role in education, or if they will ever accept?
Connection: In the #2ndChat EDU Chat we discussed ways you know you have a global classroom and a lot of the answers revolved around the importance of cultivating 21st century learning using technology. I think that this chapter pushes for that.
Epiphany: My aha moment came at the very beginning when I read the part I quoted of being able to switch to a fluid structure. I think this really put into to perspective how important it is to let go of the old and and embrace the fluid structure that is coming.
Chapter 2 A Tale of Two CulturesQuote: “The ultimate endpoint of a mechanistic perspective is efficiency: The goal is to learn as much as you can, as fast as you can. In this teaching-based approach, standardization is a reasonable way to do this, and testing is a reasonable way to measure the result.1”

Question: Will this culture “that emerges from the environment, and grows along with it” fully close the achievement gap?
Connection: EDL621 discussed the various learning needs and styles and this chapter emphasizes the learner that thrives on change and how it needs it to create further change.
Epiphany: I can see how important it is for all educators to embrace the culture in which we are not the providers of knowledge, but the facilitatos of said knowledge Chapter 3 Embracing ChangeQuote: “In a world of near-constant flux, play becomes a strategy for embracing change, rather than a way for growing out of it.1”

Question: Will this fast paced change bring back a resurgence of people wanting to slow things down?
Connection: While I wa participating in our EdChats I realized how many people out there are ready to see change happen now. I was fascinated by the massive amount of information that everyone shared in the 1hour session.
Epiphany: We need to embrace this new change because it’s here to stay. This new generation is here to interact, create a fast paced change and create its own destiny. They will not wait for us(older generations) to catch up.
