Bringing My Class Into The 21ST Century

Technology, and the world that we live in, is constantly advancing. And it's moving at a rate of speed that is difficult to keep up with. But, for all of the future teachers around the world, it is our responsibility to keep up or we will be left behind. As a teacher, I would like to incorporate thing like blogging into my daily classroom lesson plans. Instead of writing everything down, I believe my students would be eager to blog things that they are interested in. I believe students should feel comfortable with computers and I would give them every opportunity to learn more about them. Wikipedia, Google, and other researching sites would be introduced in case they want to find out more information on their topic. And since researching will be a necessary life-time skill, my students will be given plenty of practice. I would strongly encourage them to use the computer and not be afraid to learn how technology works because it will prepare them, as students, to master all of the technological changes in the 21ST Century.
