Bringing the FFA Into the 21st Century

摘要

In 1950, the 81st Congress of the United States granted a Federal Charter to the Future Farmers of America recognizing the importance of the organization as an integral part of the vocational agriculture program (National FFA Organization, 2012). At that point, the legislators in Congress probably never imagined what education would look like in the 21st century. During the 1950s, computers were just being introduced. The Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator (EDSAC), the first stored program computer, was about the size of a small house (Oxford, 2009). Who would have thought that in 2012, we would have ready available access to computers in our schools and classrooms?
