While reading Will Richardson’s “Educational Leadership” I thought about how not only are the advances in technology are affecting my generation, but how it is affecting the adults. I always thought it was so hard on us to have to learn about all these new things, that no one else knows exactly how to teach us about it. It is frustrating at times, but we learn how to fend for ourselves. It must be just as, or maybe even more frustrating for adults. They grew up in a different time where some of these new advances may have sounded alien to them, now they are expected to learn how to use them. They didn’t get to learn it while they were just children like us. They have to forget about how things used to be, and get ready for a whole lot of change! While they are facing this, they also somehow have to try to help us prepare for the world we are going into. To me, that would be the most frustrating thing of all! Adults are usually giving out there knowledge to us, but now it’s our turn to help them. It is like the students teaching the teachers. I am assuming not all adults like to be taught by a younger generation, but in a case like this we all need to stick together and figure it out together.
