I was looking at
a few cartoon pieces about technology and education and this one made me laugh
out loud! Connecting this with my previous blog about the education-technology
revolution, students are quickly adapting to digital tools, causing them to
become active learners. They are no longer aware of certain things that were
once popular, such as newspapers. Technology today plays a significant role in
a student's education. It is rapidly changing the way teachers teach and the
way students learn. It is absolutely pervasive to their education. It is no longer for the
student to catch up, it is now up to the teacher to catch up. However, many
teachers and districts are having difficulty keeping up because of budget cuts. Although
this is understandable, something must be done quickly because technology is
quickly evolving and so are our students outside the classroom. We can’t have
them power down when entering a classroom because that will ultimately stunt
their education. Even if it as simple as a smartboard or using a computer once
a week, students and teachers will adapt to the new innovative instruction and become
engaged in their education. Introverts in the classroom can actually offer
their insight and opinions when using blogs and social medias and connect with
their peers. In the technology realm, participation and communication increases
drastically. Technology is and should continue to be a integral part of
education.
