Manage episode 367924373 series 3430493
Then versus NOW -- let’s get nostalgic! On this episode we have special guests from San Gabriel High School: Principal Debbie Stone and Math teacher Amanda Blackwood. The two educators join us to discuss the significant physical and social changes in education over the years. We talk about the evolution of classrooms from chalkboards to digital screens and celebrate the impact of technology advancements and access to mental health resources today’s students have. Debbie and Amanda also explore the double-edged sword of social media and how it influences today's students and schools. Enjoy this discussion on the evolution of education and think about it – what is something today’s students have that you wish you did and what aspects from the past would you bring back given the chance?!
