EDLD 5364 Week 5 Reflection

As I reflect this week upon this class, I am reminded of how technology use in education is vital for student success. Throughout this course, I have added tools to assist me in incorporating technology into my classroom. In the Howard Garner video, he speaks of the changing times we are experiencing these days. He speaks of how easy the of retrieving information from a website is for anyone with internet access. Instead of looking up words in paperback dictionaries, you can find the dictionaries on line now. As teachers we need to prepare our classrooms for the digital age and equip our learners to continue to make strides in it. Vision for technology in the Classroom speaks of the challenges we face with having the available technology. We have to make a change at home and school when it comes to technology. Technology is creating a new division between people. Those who have access to technology, and those that do not. We must make sure that are students continue to find new and exciting ways to incorporate technology into their lives. This will ensure that they will not be left behind in the digital age.
