What? Here at South?<br /><br />"The world is going to keep on spinning, whether we are with it in technology or not!" Absolutely true!<br /><br />Absolutely: "... as an upcoming teacher, that I will need to continue to learn..."<br /><br />"I do not have the ability to sit back, relax, and watch the world go by" Well, I think you have the <i>ability</i> to drop out. But you cannot if you want to continue to be relevant. You might even keep your teaching job, but you would be failing your responsibilities as a professional.John Hadley Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484977903995419205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434176273323358471.post-43210455611542961532010-01-26T12:00:27.234-06:002010-01-26T12:00:27.234-06:00You have some great points.

As teachers, we need to be technologically literate so we can use technology to make learning more creative and interesting.Deborah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10985108357690882443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434176273323358471.post-57844655513615965442010-01-26T10:17:19.465-06:002010-01-26T10:17:19.465-06:00I really agree with your "Its not about the t...I really agree with your "Its not about the technology" post. I believe that while technolocy can be SO beneficial to students, if a teacher can not use it herself, how does she expect to teach her students? All teachers should have some sort of knowledge of computers, but it is not computers alone that help the students. It takes well qualified teachers to be able to teach the new technology. But like you say, with teachers who can use technology well, the "Possiblilties are ENDLESS!"Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964963430710201964noreply@blogger.com
