Journal entry #5

Quote: One of the many reasons I enjoy being an educator during this time of unprecedented change is that the potential for revelation is great. To do my best revelation-hunting, I locate the eye of a hurricane, park, and look around with an open mind. When I do that, revelations come frequently.

Response: This is a quote that will be with me throughout my teaching career. I love it. The writer of this article started is paper off with this quote and then follows it with facts backing it up. I believe he completely right when e says that we are in a new age. The new age is among us, and we need to open up and realize it. The new age is the fourth R. Which is Art in our learning. We as teachers and future teachers need to open our minds up to this Fourth R and incorporate it into our teaching styles. He describes a 10th grader being able to use a computer but having trouble in other areas, but when h incorporates his Fourth R into the learning of this child the child became amazed and started learning by using it. Great subject and great point of view in this artile
