| Catherine Beecher |
The PBS site exhibited various types of innovators that have created an impact on our education system. Catherine Beecher is one innovator that was exemplified on the PBS site. I chose her as the one innovator that I feel truly influenced public education today. She promoted her life to show the significance of education for women and children. If she never exemplified the importance of education for women, then I may not have the privilege I do this present day to receive the education I do. Additionally, my children may not receive the type of education they do if Catherine Beecher never took a stand for women and children. Due to her courage for education, women and children receive great privileges with education today!
The Gatto site exhibited various types of makers in our education field. If I have to choose a maker that influenced education, I will choose Henry Ford. I chose him because his assembly line grew and emerged such as the education field does. In my personal reflection though, I do not feel the “makers” had a greater impact on education than did the innovators.
The difference that I see between the innovators and the makers are far and between. The innovators had more of an impact on the education field. The makers had more of an impact on the industrial/business field. Although both did have an impact and change lives of others as we see in the past and today.
Good stuff Jennifer! I agree about the "makers" being less influential, although I found some interesting facts as I looked "out there" for a little more insight. I look forward to your next post!
ReplyDeleteNext entry, expand on your discussion regarding topics/issues. For example, in paragraph two you say you "do not feel the 'makers' had a greater impact on education than did the innovators. This is not a "reflection" without some discussion and/or explanation as to "why" you responded in this manner.
