Show our World The Salt I.ake Tribune, Sunday, January 19, 1986 F7 Technology to Provide a Better Education lor More People in 21st Century By Edward Cornish Q What will education be like in the 21st century? A When President Reagan met last year with a group of futurists, education emerged as the biggest single concern, topping even nuclear war Almost everybody, it seems, is voicing alarm over the current state of our schools. There is widespread disagreement on just what should be done to set matters right. But impor- tant trends suggest these are ways in which education may be different in the 21st century- - Youngsters will begin their formal education at an earlier age, perhaps at 3 or 4 The very early years are critically important in human development. Children who are deprived during these years will suffer lifelong deficiencies, as adults many may be unable to find jobs in our increasingly technological civilization More youngsters will do school work at home Video, computer and other new technologies will make it practical This will help the educational system provide adequate education for all its charges, even if they are sick or handicapped And learning at home will give youngsters experience in learning when there is no a skill that will be teacher around critically important after they leave ter The new educational technologies will provide a single teacher strong support for teaching all kinds of subjects Within a few years there will be systems that can even teach students to speak n foreign languages intelligibly The teachers major role will be to encourage students, identify difficulties they may be having and guide them toward their goals. Class time will be devoted more to group discussions rather than lectures Students everywhere will be able to see and hear the most prominent authorities on a subject by way of large-screevideotaped lectures, accompanied by relevant graphic and film segments. By guiding related discussions, classroom teachers who know little about the subject may still be able to produce a good learning experience, especially in elementary courses school There will be a boom in educational products. Videotapes, videodisks, computer programs and other educational products that can provide first-rat- e instruction are pouring onto the market. Prices will drop as the market grows e' Teachers will concentrate more on students and less on subject mat n Insider Trading Monitor Heed Yellow Lights on Stock Market Continued From F-- 6 an option for 769 shares at $65 per share on Dec. 26 He now has 1,374 shares.

When I questioned the employees, they'd never noticed it. Ha! The question was never answered but the roll was removed. I don't recall what she did to deserve that or what she did to all. gel even.
