"Even students who perform well in school are often unprepared for the challenges that they encounter after graduation, in their work lives as well as their personal lives ( Resnick 2007)."
The reason I chose this quote is because I see this as a problem within our education system today. With the advancements in technology coming at such a quick pace it is hard to get students prepared for their future. The problem is that with technology advancing so fast how do you prepare a student for the future when you don't even know what the future will look like in five years. that is why we are trying to make our students creative thinkers so they can adjust to a unknown future.
Here is a great video about creative thinking and technology.

Thanks for finding this video! I've actually met the speakers several times! I think this might be a Double Entry Journal read for next week!
