I think the biggest challenge facing today’s elementary educators is the huge
change in the methods used to teach subjects like mathematics and science.
Much of what we do in our classrooms today is very different from the way we
were taught.  Most people tend to "teach" the way that is familiar to them...
  effective educators, realizing that we are preparing students for a world
that is very different from the world we grew up in (just the opportunity to
use a computer in this way is a proof of this...), have had to learn new
methods for teaching today's students.
