What does all of this junk mean anyways?! Obviously there has been changes in the last decade with technology and it is growing more popular than ever and will be a necessity in all classrooms in the near future. There are going to be many things we as future teachers should try to incorporate into our curriculum involving technology, not only to help students be engaged in the material but to prepare them for their future.
This book taught us about many useful tools that are available to us at little or no cost and can so easily be integrated into any classroom. From wikis and blogs to help with communication between schools and home, and social book marketing to help with resources, there are many fantastic tools I will for sure be using daily and in my near future as a teacher. Connecting with people over the internet who share our same passions can help us share so many more resources than ever before.
I do have to say, a big problem with my future career and technology is going to be the endless hours. Because now with this wonderful technology my students can reach me at any hours of the day and this turns the teacher into a no longer 9-5 job ( or 8-3 )
These drastic changes have just come up in the last few years, and makes me wonder what is going to come up in the next decade, or century.
The epilogue was really inspiring on how many tools a person can use in just a few minutes and make what could have been hours of time into a mere 45 minutes.
