The article, “We See This as the Future of Higher Education” by Karl Fisch matters to me because new teaching strategies are being tested and used by many teachers which means I need to be flexible, to education because technology alone may be changing the way students are taught, and to the world because this ongoing revolution of technology is changing the world dramatically.  This article basically stated the good and the bad of teachers lecturing through the internet.  Mr. Fisch himself thinks that education should be taught in a “hybrid” form.  What he means by this is a mix of face to face teaching and internet teaching.  Since new teaching strategies are being brought forth I need to be flexible and be prepared to learn in any way the teacher asks me to learn, whether it be through the internet or face to face.  Technology has a major role in many things, including education.  There is a huge difference in teaching because of technology.  A long time ago, most teachers used chalkboards to teach.  Now, many teachers have projectors or Smartboards.  There are so many new technologies being practiced not only in education, but in the world.  Many businesses are taking risks by using new technology to improve their businesses.  Once again, everything draws to technology.
