Alright let’s be honest here for us up and coming teachers who are still young we know all there is to know about technology we understand why students today don’t work as hard as they used to this is where technology comes into play. Technology is basically the heart and soul to young minds, it’s the battery that keeps education running and sooner or later without it you will be left behind. How many people nowadays would rather go read a book on Sir Patrick Henry instead of just going online and watching a whole entire documentary on him on the history channel? I understand that it is probably hard to just quickly integrate technology into today’s schools and it is also probably extremely expensive but I truly believe if you gave each student his or her own laptop or Ipad you would see a huge difference in class participation. Could you imagine trying to talk about a certain city and then just telling your students to go to the Ipad and open Google Earth to see the actual city that is being talked about. Today it comes down to visual learning, text books are slowly becoming a thing of the past. It’s all about seeing it now and not just reading and hearing about it. Not only will technology be good for students but it will also make our jobs a hell of a lot easier and if you ask me I would much rather have easy than hard.
Cheers.
