Moonshots in Education is a book about using technology and teaching strategies to help with pedagogy. This book explains why we should consider students input, ideas, interests, our own teacher methods, development of projects, and etc. This book explains how our education system has changed from reading, writing, and arithmetic to branching out to include more subjects and concepts. The history of technology has evolved since the beginning of education.
How do we give the gift of learning to all children? How can we help them achieve a can do and ability to learn attitude? These are the most important ideas to consider when we teach.
Skye-A-Thon program helps to explore learning without boarders for all students’ and school age children. This program can help reach and be able to teach students’ from all over the world and expose them to the amazing things they can learn.
My moonshot in Education would be to always actively teach no matter if you are a certified teacher or not. We all have other roles other than student teacher like mother, aunt, sister, brother, and more. All of these roles can help shape younger generations by applying what they have learned in life and share their advice can help guide the next generation to reach for the moon and learn and be active in their learning environment. We all have teachable moments in life that we can learn from as well as others.
These resources and developing our own “moonshot of education” is important for us to learn and apply in our own perspectives because we as future teachers need to be able to utilize and teach what we want to teach as well as to help develop young minds.
