"The differences that I have seen between myself and most of my teachers who are digital immigrants are that they pay attention to the small things about technology, and they take more time when working with it."
Jessica's Blog
"Even though people tend to believe that the older generation or the generation of our teachers is falling behind ours I don't believe this to be true."
Kristen's EME2040 Blog
"Watching teachers with a problem is always nerve-wracking because sometimes they start clicking random buttons and other times they call in reinforcements, even when it turns out to be nothing serious."
Karissa's Blog EME2040
"Technology is changing every day, and if you don't keep up with the advances, you will get lost in the past."
Becca's Blog
"In the chapter there were four challenges outlined: finances to provide educational technology, time to learn to use technology and teach about it, school culture allowing the technology, and the shift from teacher to facilitator of learning."
Elizabeth Bennet
"The added structure of regulated lesson plans and standards may seem redundant or boring but in reality, they add supportive structures to an otherwise hectic ideal."
Ashley Shaw - EME2040
"My main concern about teachers using technology in the classroom is that they are going to teach students how to use it instead of actually having them use it for an assignment."
Em's EME
"The difference between my teachers and myself is that they saw technology as an optional tool while I saw it as a necessary tool."
I love all of these thoughts, but the ones from Em's EME and Karissa's Blog stood out to me the most. Technology really is always changing, and if you don't keep up with it, it's pretty easy to get lost and left behind. As a smaller scale example, if you don't use a social media site for a while, you may notice that the site went through several formatting and systematic updates - I know that Facebook and Twitter are always updating their layouts. It can be incredibly confusing!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I agree that technology is becoming a necessity. Although I would like to keep physical books and libraries and actually having to hunt down information as part of our curriculum, I also think it's important for students to know that there is access right at their own fingertips, and it's important to know how to use it.
