Technology has become part of our daily lives in and will continue to be for years to come. We now live in the digital age where children and technology have become so close, education has now become more digital because computers are available in every school to students and teachers. There are still teachers who still remain traditional in their educating, meaning they don’t use computers or any technology at all. The problem with this is that student’s attention span is now even shorter meaning that it’s up to the teacher to associate something that students can relate to keep them focused on what they are learning. This is where technology comes in because now we have the capability of incorporating videos, media, and other technologies into the classroom. Now we have online classes and it’s only a matter of time when students can attend all their classes online.
Technology is constantly changing and improving so it is only common sense that educators need to do the same. Yes, there are teachers that tend to be scared away by technology but the reality is that technology is part of our lives whether we like it or not and if we want to keep up with the rest of the world we have to make sure that we are incorporating as much technology in our education as much as we can. On a personal note I have never been a technology person, I only know how to do basic assignments on basic computer programs but I tend to get scared away from new software. This is why I wanted to do the technology program here at APU because I know this program will give me the knowledge and skills that I need in technology and how to apply it in the classroom. –Jesus H.
