Kids+These+Days

Kids these days have more choices than ever before. The choice between technologies (cell phones, iPods, video games, computers and internet), activities (sports, clubs, camps, etc), and friends (MySpace, Face book, text friends, etc) are just a few of the choices kids have today. With all of these choices competing for kids attention, sometimes getting an education is not so high on the choice list. Teachers face a constant challenge to engage their students and get them motivated to learn. Kids these days just have so many choices in all phases of their life that the choices can be overwhelming. As a teacher I will do my best to get students to choose education as one of their first choices. I will try to engage my students and make learning desirable. Being flexible will be an important strategy that I will employ. Keeping the curriculum up to date and fresh will also be an important part of teaching kids these days.
