This is a very interesting question for me. You see, I created this blog for a class (Technology in Education) that is a class for education majors, but I'm a mission major. Conflict? I think not.
I want to educate people, children, but not in the traditional sense. I want to teach them about Jesus (kind of a duh thought), health, power, and many other subjects. I want to educate because education is power; many people around the world are powerless because they are denied an education. It's how their corrupt governments stay wealthy and in power.
I would love to teach children because I love kids, but I think I would also enjoy teaching my peers and those older than me. To give them the power that they have been denied for a lifetime. I think that could be the greatest gift ever. However, that is a daunting task. There is a lot of responsibility for educating others and a lot of pressure, especialy if the student is your elder.
The subject... I think I've touched on that. Specifically I'd like to teach the Bible and basic health care to start. Perhaps after I have taught for a while I would expand my subjects, but considering that I'm still in school I'd say that I have more than enough on my plate.

Laura, I am so glad that you are in this class! I think you are going to gain so much from this class, even though you may not use it directly where ever you may end up in the future. Just like you said education is power, and I love how you want to share your education with others so that they too will have power!! You are an incredible woman!! :-)
