Working in the music department with music education majors has given me the opportunity to also work closely with the education department at the college where I teach. As new information comes forward that relates to all education majors, they generously share that information with me. Last week I was trilled that they shared an article found online that talks about 3 hot topics in education. As we all have learned during our journey through the EMDTMS program, technology is clearly one of the hot topics being discussed at many schools. This article lists content standards, technology, and school safety as the 3 hot topics in education. When we consider everything we have learned over the past 11 months, it appears that each of these topics tie into our experience and what we will be challenged with as we move forward. We are clearly familiar with content standards and technology integration in the classroom, but we must not forget about safety issues. If you can recall, our first class in the program dealt with media literature and research, which enlightened us on how to comb through online media to determine validity, reliability, and dependability. I think that safety in media becomes an important issue for the 21st century student as well as safety in the way we are most familiar with. With the emergence of so many forms of social-networking websites, we must keep in mind that educating students on the dangers of internet use is of high importance as well.
