Broadcasting is one of the most beneficial scientific achievements. It should be fairly obvious to us that teaching science to the next generation is critically important to keep up with the world around us.

Educational Assessment
Educational assessment is a very controversial subject in today’s teaching environment. With more and more emphasis on high-stake exams, educators are concerned that these tests do not accurately reflect the quality of the students’ education. Many educators now understand that in our new information age successful students must have the ability to access, analyze, and use information to make decisions, not only the basic reading and arithmetic skills that are featured on standardized assessment tests. It is generally understood that what gets assessed is what gets taught and many policymakers were hoping that assessment tests would force teachers and schools to do things differently, like set more appropriate targets for students, increase professional development of teachers, encourage curriculum changes, and improve instructional materials.

Teachers and Technology
In the past ten years, technology has revolutionized the classroom. Many teachers have been able to make use of amazing new devices that take their jobs to the next level. Unfortunately, some educators have had difficulty utilizing the new equipment available, due to either a rut they are in, or, more often, a lack of information. When no one explains to these teachers precisely what that new piece of metal and glass lurking in the corner does, it is extremely difficult and stressful for them to attempt to use it in front of students. This antagonism between teachers and technological innovations is a challenge many schools (elementary, middle, high, and even college) will have to address, simply because of the benefits offered by technology.
