As technology is rapidly increasing, it is hard for teachers to keep up to date with it. This makes it hard for teachers as they have to learn new techniques and learning styles themselves so they are able to apply it in their lesson plans. They also have to teach the students the new technology that they have recently become accustomed to. Technology has so many positive affects on today's learning, as it allows new ways for students to interact with each other and learn at the same time. Younger generations are brought up with a greater understanding of how technology works and how it is used as those who are from older generations did not have the luxury of growing up with such technological understandings. By keeping up with today's technologies, it will be easier for students and teachers to adapt better as a unit. As teachers we need imply the importance of using technology in a professional manner and safely. I plan on teaching my students that technology is a great resource but it is not a necessity. Relying on technology instead of relying on our brains, does not help students learn. If technology is used in the correct way, it can be an incredible resource for students and teachers. It will show the students how to use technology properly and appropriately. It is hard for students sometimes to stay focused on that aspect, so as a teacher I want to elaborate on it and work with my students to make smart, educated choices. Looking back to when I was younger, it is amazing how much technology has grown. It's also overwhelming at the same time because to think that you start understanding one concept of technology, another concept is coming out that needs to addressed.
Here is my Ed Tech Tools timeline!
I chose to pick tools from various different time periods so the reader can really see how Ed Tech technology tools have advanced. I think it's very neat to see how far technology has come throughout the years! Take a look!!
