It was interesting to take the quiz and read the standards, but the thing that I enjoyed the most was watching the video clips and reading the articles. I found them extremely informative. All of that wonderful information helped to reinforce my opinions on our changing society and the fact that "shift is happening." I am excited to be experiencing this modern uprising. Technology will and does open up so many doors for so many people. I love the fact that my future students will be able to utilize web quests and virtual field trips, pod casts and Internet research.
When it comes to concerns, technological advancement does not concern me. Individual people, schools, and school districts lagging behind the times do concern me. My future students will be technological natives. If I am going to teach them in a manner they will understand and respect then I must do it while speaking their language. When I apply for future jobs I will take the schools technology based learning environment into consideration. It is deeply important to me that as a teacher I have the support of my employers when it comes to technology based teaching. It is a new technological era and I am excited to be a living part of it.
