     I recently read Wesley Fryer's blog post "Key's to PBL and student centered learning". In it Fryer talks about the links between creativity and the way in which students are taught. It lead to the realization that if technology is not embraced as the wonderful teaching tool it is, the United States will truly fall behind the rest of the world in education.

     Throughout America students are taught in a very archaic fashion. Instead of embracing creativity, it seems as if schools today try to take those feelings and aspirations away. I feel this is a mistake, and without a reformation of the way unto which we as a people approach teaching our children we may truly be lost.

     Today I read Wesley Fryer's blog post "Hello from Shanghai". In it Fryer tells us of his journey to Shanghai, China. He tells us that he is there to attend a conference for the betterment of education worldwide. The conference is taking place in Shanghai which is a city of 22 million people. Great minds from around the world have come to one place solely for the betterment of learning. I truly hope that through works such as this conference we can become world leaders in education.
