What is Educational Technology?
I believe that educational technology is focused around many different aspects that involve education. It involves the people who work in your district (teachers, district office, classified staff) that work together to provide a technology rich education for students. From the computer programs our students use to the test results that staff members study, educational technology covers a broad perspective into the lives of our students. Technology seems to be changing at such a rapid pace, it will be our duties to make sure that are are up to date on the latest features that will give our students an advantage when they are ready to enter the real world with jobs that have not been created yet. I find it amazing to see how technology has changed over the past decades and cannot wait to see what is in store for us in the future.

I think the idea of teaching and preparing our students for careers that have not yet been created is a very intimidating task. I believe that if we can teach our students how to help themselves be better learners through the use of technology then we are getting them started in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see what the future holds for education and technology too! Educational technology is so broad, it would be difficult to come up with "the" definition for it.
ReplyDeleteI am just hoping that I can keep up so that I am able to teach my students to be critical thinkers when it comes to technology!
