Technology is having an ever-increasing impact on education. Teachers are required to learn more about different technologies to meet the demands of a technology-based world. It is important that teachers know about technology as their students will be required to be fluent in technology for many of today's and tomorrow's jobs. This has significantly changed the landscape of education over the past several years.

ReplyDeleteCasey,
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you, there are so many new things teachers must learn and adapt to in order to provide their students with the necessary tools they will need for the future.
Great Post. I agree, as teachers we need to stay on top of the ever changing world of technology ...as well as... use it effectively for instruction.
ReplyDeleteJust think how boring some of our presentations and lessons would be without technology. As frustrating as it may be sometimes to learn all the new stuff about technology when it is constantly changing, it is so beneficial for you as an educator.
ReplyDeleteI like that you mentioned "tomorrow's" jobs. There will probably be a number of jobs in the future that don't even exist right now.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing to think of how technology has impacted our daily lives and especially education. I agree that teachers need to be able to prepare students to be technologically proficient for their future careers.
ReplyDeleteUsing the technology effectively is the biggest part. You can have the technology, but if you don't how to use it, there is no point.
