3.0 Flat Teaching World

Friedmen discusses the employee who knows how to use technology and the employee that does not use technology. He states at one point, in "The Triple Convergence" chapter, that the business will not run smoothly just because they have new technology. The business will not run smoothly until all employees can use the technology. In the teaching world, we all need to know how to use technology to make education run smoothly.

As we have been discussing, technology in the classroom is what motivates students. Teachers need to know how to use this technology to create productive learning environments. Our students will need to fight to get more individualized jobs, and we need to prepare them with the tools they will need. Our students need to communicate and compete with not only other Americans, but other people from other countries as well.

To get the best job, and keep the education running smoothly teachers need to be able to use new technology. Teachers need to be able to teach the skills students need to make corporations run smoothly, etc.
