Google Education Summit - March 2014

Attending Google "Technology in Education" Summit @ Grand Canyon University. GCU President Brian Mueller said it well in pointing out that the key to the Arizona economy or economic growth is a skilled workforce not tax incentives.  The development of STEM (science, technology, engineering & mathematics) skilled workers will be the difference for many of our students' future success as a skilled workforce will be in demand for the present and in the future to come.  The middle is disappearing with the true job world being separated by skilled workers and unskilled workers that will be seen in levels of training, education and use of technology.  Current students are in reality preparing for jobs that have not been created yet but will emerge as new technologies evolve.
