Learning to change, changing to learn

This video has a lot of truth in it. Our world as teachers has not evolved much since the 70's. We as teachers need to learn to change with the technology era that we are entering. School should not be a break from technology and the every day life of communication on multiple mediums. School should be a place where technology is embraced and utilized.
We as teachers need to work harder to incorporate the students everyday technology into the classroom. Because our students have all grown up in this age of technology they know how to use a computer and navigate the internet (probably) better than we ourselves do and we need to utilize this resource that they already know how use.
Not using technology in classroom is essentially hindering our students.

  1. I don't know if students know how to use technology better, but they are sure more comfortable with it, and that's half the battle!
