Great video. I think it really reflects the importance of technology in the classroom. So many teachers, for whatever reason, seem to neglect using technology. I think one of the most important aspects of teaching is the ability of a teacher to adapt to changing times. Isn’t is Dylan that said “The times they are a-changin’?” Well, they are and I pity the teacher who isn’t changing because it will be the students who suffer.

Katie,
You hit on a very important point that I didn’t think about. When teachers are not willing to change, it is often the students that suffer. A lot of times, they are forced to learn the information somewhere else. We cannot ensure that the information will be accurate or reliable. Teachers will effectively be placing the “ability” to teach in someone elses hands. A lot of teachers wonder why they do not connect to students on a personal level. Students need someone that they can depend on- if that means having to learn new ways of doing things- why not? Afterall, aren’t teachers forever learners. Students will have more respect for a teacher who is willing to learn something from them than for a teacher who will not admit that they do not know to do something.

I definitely agee with you. Technology must be implemented in the class room. Kids need to be introduced and experience in using tecnology as it is brought out. Technology is our future and so are the students.

Definitly! Teachers are not only teachers but learners as well. We should all approach life in this way. Who doesn’t want to learn something new?
