Title:  Early History of Education in America

You've studied it, read about it, and made note of the important points of the beginnings of American education through the Depression.  Now it's time to show what you know.  Select one (1) of the following prompts and create a post that shows your understanding education during that period.  Be sure that you answer the prompt.

A.  One-room schoolhouses with a single teacher responsible for all grades developed in rural areas with limited population.  A few of these schools still exist.  If you were teaching in such a school now, how could technology help you manage to teach students at so many different levels.

B.  During the Great Depression of the 1930s, some teachers continued to work for little or not pay.  What do you think motivated them?  How do you think you would react as a teacher, if a similar situation occurred?  What factors would you weigh as part of you decision?

C.  Throughout the early history of education in America, teachers were held in great respect and were expected to be role models for students.  In your opinion, how are teachers regarded today?  Give reasons for your views.

Notes:  You must answer the prompt - don't go off on a tangent.  You must make reference and create a pathway to this prompt.  You must include at least one additional source of media (pic, photo, link, etc.)
