At this point and time I am not sure which is more terrifying the ever changing side of the technology world or how fast our education system seems to be changing. It seems that the education system has done more than 360 degrees since I graduated high school in 1998. The technology that now you have to learn and know to teach or even be in school is amazing. I love the fact the article we read said In School 2.0, learning doesn't just take place in the school, but in a combination of home, school, and community that collaborates to bring the wider world into day-to-day instruction and provide a rich array of learning opportunities. In School 2.0, there is no one path to achieve learning.
Many times i think we feel like we are on a wrong way course but this statement above shows there are many ways to be successful. If my students come out of the classroom understanding this theory then i think it can lead to a successful story.To become a teacher i think it is very important to realize that technology and all of its new inventions is whats going to make me a better teacher. It will take a ton of hard work but it can be done even if it has to be practiced many many times. I at times wish we were back to just the chalkboard to teach but in reality our children would fall farther behind in their studies and our country would not be considered a strong country.
