In You know this is true, by Will Richardson it talks about how people don’t get motivated to learn or gain knowledge we just want to learn it and move on. All you want is to get a good grade and pass school with good grades and move on. People usually just forget what they learn and never use the information again. This affects me because if get out of school and I get a job that requires me to do no information I learned in school then why did I waste my time to go? I mean I guess I understand if I take a job that requires me to do trigonometry and when America joined world war two but what kind of job requires that? This affects to the world because some kids or adults wont have the drive to go to school and learn information we will never again use. So why should we go to school and learn pointless information?

I read Littleton man who fell to death in Rocky Mountain National Park identified. It talks about a Littleton man hiking in the mountains and falling to his death. This affects me because I am from Littleton and I could have been the one hiking and the one to die. It is weird how someone from my own neighborhood is found dead. This affects the world because it shows anything can happen to them and no one is invincible. It shows that the world is small and you cant always think someone close to you can not be hurt or something bad happening to them. So this affects the whole world because we always have to be careful in what we do and always remeber that what we do in our lives will afect us and others for a very long time.

In Karl Fisch’s 2020 Vision it talks about how school will change drastically in our lifetime. It shows how we use to use basic learning tools and then we started using laptops in class and then we started to be able to chat with people all the way around the world. On of the things it says in the future we will not be learning from classes but from Google directly. This matters to me because when I have children they will be learning from a completely different source then when I was in school. I will not be able to answer some of their questions because I might not know what they’re talking about at all. This matters to the world because when kids are in school they will be learning from teachers and then within that year or the next they will have a completely different learning style. This could highly affect someone who is trying to do well in school and I think it is just a bad idea.

In “Rigor Redefined” by Tony Wagner it is about how new jobs are looking for specific skills to do their jobs such as problem solving, leadership, adaptability, initiative, communication, analyzing information, and imagination. He also talks about how teachers are “spoon feeding” their students and not letting us apply ourselves for the future. This affects me because if my teachers don’t teach me the necessary skills to succeed in the future than that’s exactly what will happen I will not be prepared for the future. I will not learn all those specific skills like problem solving and analyzing information to get these jobs because my teachers have failed to teach me. This affects the world because if all teachers do this to their students then everyone will not learn these skills jobs are looking for.
