What Some Teachers Would Do

I read Who Ya Gonna Call by Karl Fisch. Carolyn Orf is one of the Business teachers at the school he teaches at. Her students are learning about entrepreneurship and starting a business. Orf wanted an entrepreneur speak to her students about their experiences. Then she remembered that she went to college with a guy that had gone on to start a couple of companies. She saw him at a wedding about three years back but other than that she really hadn’t kept in touch with him. She ended up finding him on Facebook. She asked if he’d be interested in Skyping in to share his experiences and do a question and answer session with her students. He said yes, and so they will be Skyping during her 5th period class on October 6th, from 12:14 – 1:12 pm. His name is Jason Shellon. He’s the CEO of Things Lab. He was an employee of Pyra Labs and worked on Blogger. I really think it is cool how our technology today lets us do things like Skype and still talk and see each other. I think it connects to me because it’s happening at my school. I thought it was great to see him take up his time in his busy like to do the discussion. I have to ask my self if I would do the same thing. It’s great to see teacher who love their job as much as her. A lot of teachers don’t care about their students enough to put that all together. So many kids now a days don’t see what their teachers really do or don’t do. I just want to end on this, thank you to all the teachers out there and for all the things you would do for your students. So the next time you hear someone says the kids are the future you know inside without you the past, present, and future would not be what they are. So truly this is a thank you.
