This is a article is a part of the Teachers Lounge page under the "Motivational" heading where we try to share different stories that will make you want to keep teaching. That is what a lounge is about, a place to rest and gear up for more teaching.
Steve Jobs was an incredible man. An amazing life story that revolutionized the way we live. The innovation of Jobs and his Apple colleagues has changed the way millions of people live, while is motion pictures from Pixar have given millions a reason to smile.
The uses of Apple technology in the classroom is endless, however I would like to draw your attention to the now famous speech that Steve Jobs delivered in 2005 at the graduation ceremonies for Stanford University. He has powerful message concerning a reality that we all will face; death. Please enjoy!
Death, this agent of change is why we educate. We will not be around forever, but there will be those that live past our time and we educate to share with them what we already know. A world without education is chaos.
Steve Jobs passed away on October 5, 2011 may he rest in peace.
