What is your reaction to the 10 Big Shifts in Education? Which shift(s) will be easier and harder for you to integrate in your future teaching/classroom? Please explain.

I think that Richardson raises some valid points with his Big Shift ideas and that the way we teach in the classroom and interact with our subject matter is all about to change. Big Shifts 1, 2, and 3 I think will be the easiest for me to integrate into my classroom. Science is built on the idea of sharing knowledge and ideas with one another, giving feedback, and collaborating. The internet is making it easier for students to do just that with each other, other schools, and also experts out in the scientific community. The hardest one to integrate might be Big Shift 6, not because I do not see it fitting into my classroom, but because of the vast amount of knowledge that is out there now and constantly being added too. It will take time to sift through articles to find ones that are relevant to current topics in the classroom. It is doable, but I see that as taking the most time work through.
