“What made these ads so deceptive is they rarely
looked like traditional political ads. Often, they don't
mention a candidate or the election at all. Instead,
they tear at the parts of the American social
fabric that are already worn thin, stoking outrage
about police brutality or the removal of Confederate
statues.”

Editor's Notes
20 years in the future – what story are they going to tell about you?
Will you be that life changing teacher – you know the one who made all the difference in an adult’s life because you reached him or her as a child? That teacher who really prepared a child for his future as an adult? Will your school talk about the “good old days” when you were there and smile when they talk of your adventures and experiences with kids?
Of course, most of us will be forgotten by some kids. But we certainly don’t want to be that teacher who is unforgettable for another reason. Like the teacher who told my sister who is now a graphic design professor for Savannah College of Art and Design that her love of Egyptian typography would lead her nowhere. Or that teacher who made the artistic child cry and said she wouldn’t accomplish anything because science was a problem for her. (Oh, and she drew this logo!)
But even if you are that kind of teacher. You might just feel like this.
I think if we’re talking about being Future Ready, that it is worth asking – how will you be remembered? How will be remembered?
You see, even if we stop teaching right now, you and I are already in the future in the minds and hearts of the students we’ve already impacted. To see how this works, let’s travel to the past for a very true and real story about a teacher named Mrs. Scruggs and a girl named Sue.
LeBron James and his I Promise School initiative
And with what seems to be a rash of suicides of both popular people and children, we need to remember that for our vulnerable children, that things like suicide are contagious behaviors and we must handle these issues with the utmost of care.

My technology journey began somewhere around the age of 10 with the TRS-80 computer
These were the days of the Command Line Interface or CLI
And eventually played games like this that became a little bit more graphical and really thought we had it made when we
Were able to play games like Monkey island
Then, the Graphical User Interface was invented at Xerox PARC and we began having devices like the computer I took to Georgia Tech in 1987 – the Macintosh SE
With a lovely little control panel like this
And eventually when color came along we were starting to play games like this.

Two weeks a go I was at the US Army War College and they were talking about economic challenges in the world. One of the topics of conversation was economics and the problem when factories and people relocate overseas that the people who lost the jobs don’t move. Then, they said something that stunned me.
“We need more people creating startups because startups don’t relocate overseas and that will help our country be economically stable and independent.” But then I remembered some charts I’ve seen.
First, there’s this one that shows how man in our workforce need a college degree.

To be future ready, our students need to have integrity to do the tasks and build trustworthy relationships. They need to be undeceivable, unbribable people who pay their bills, show up for work and are careful to make sure that they share the truth and are not deceived by those who wish to harm us, our country, or our communities.
