Technology is amazing! I can't believe how many advancements their have been since I've been alive. What amazes me is that we are continually having new ways to communicate and interact, and I always wonder what advancements there will be in the future. I liked the Millennial Generation video that talked about what students thought the future would hold when it came to technology. I feel that as a young person today I am pretty tech savy, but I know that it is important to stay caught up with the times, especially as a teacher of future students. The students I teach will have so many more jobs and opportunities based on the advancement of technology. What worries me as a future teacher is not being able to keep up with it. I already feel that I am behind on what technology has to offer, and as a teacher I want to be as up to date as I can.
I liked the idea the article WWW presented. Whatever, Whenever, Wherever. With today's world it is so easy to stay connected. You can have the whole internet in the palm of your hand. Technology is changing the way we will have to teach our students. I wonder if in the future technology will replace how we do school work. What if paper is one day replaced by computers? What if students one day no longer have to write on paper, read an actual book, or have paper worksheets? This will change how I will have to teach my students, and also how I will have to do assignments and homework.
Looking through all the links really made me think about the challenges of technology in school. I had already wondered if the advance of technology would mean a decline in handwriting and proper grammar. Texting and emails have a whole different lingo of their own, and students are becoming less familiar with how to properly write. I loved eschoolnews.com and that it gives informational newsletters about advancement in technology. I feel that this will be an excellent resource for me as a teacher.
