So here we are, the last blog post of the term. Man how time flies. Thanks to you all, my many faithful followers -- or all five of you at least.
It's been a pleasure to share my thoughts about technology in the classroom with you, and I'll look forward to seeing you down the road.
In the meantime, I'd like to share a few thoughts on what I learned in this course:
I entered the term thinking that technology was a good aid for teachers to reach students, and that those teachers who took advantage of technology are good, thoughtful and innovative educators.
What I see now is that, though these teachers should be applauded, technology is and will continue to become more of a life source for teachers, a lifeboat they will need to survive in the changing waters of education.
Soon technology will be considered the standard, and those who fail to integrate it fully into their classrooms will be left behind.
I can't wait to use the programs and applications that we learned in this class in my own classroom, as well as those that have yet to be developed.
It may be frightening to some, but I believe this makes it an exciting time to be entering the world of education. When I retire after a long and successful teaching career, I'll be able to look back and say I was there when the technology revolution really got going.
