In the last decade technology has become a huge part of jobs, schools and everyone’s personal lives. To me, not having access to the internet is a mind boggling thought. Because people are now so accustom to the different resources they have with technology, it has a larger role in education. This reading makes me realize that in order to become a successful teacher for the future, I am going to have to learn new technologies and use them in the classroom. Because technology is now becoming more accessible to a larger percent of the population, I feel that it is imperative that the educational system use this to its advantage. It may seem that technology has been clashing with schooling in the past few years, but in order for schools to keep up in the Knowledge Revolution, teachers must allow children to use technologies to benefit their learning in a more customizable way. This can be done in many ways, including the internet, wikis, blogs, podcasts, videos, and other similar media vantages. This reading really helped me realize the importance of media such as these and why we should begin to use them now so we can teach with them in our careers.
