Education Goals for Our Sons

[valuesystem]

Education goals for my sons:

What do our sons need to know about (or be able to do with) electronic information technology?

Our sons can use electronic information technology as a tool to...

1. explore their curiosity and learn,
-- ex. learn about anything one is curious about


2. improve their thinking, reasoning and decision making, and
-- ex. learn logical thinking, understanding, beliefs, mathematics, etc.


3. communicate and collaborate with themselves and others
-- ex. sending email to spouse about working late

...so that they can...

1. provide for their needs and those of their family and community, and
-- ex. food -- to procure food, learn to find food, learn to hunt food, organize growing and hunting, learn to grow food, etc.


2. protect and restore nature.
-- note: this is essential for the preservation of the human species, including, of course, our sons and their progeny

Additional Thoughts for Consideration

Will there be an Internet in the future? computers? an electricity network?

Why would our prehistory parents have needed electronic information technology? How then does the answer to this inform us as to the current best use of technology?

Notes

Electronic information technology -- examples: computers, phones, TVs, radios, Internet, etc.

Prehistory parents -- our great, great (nth) grandparents (or ancestors) who lived as part of nature
