Chapter 10 and Epilogue

How does this reading impact your thinking about technology's role in teaching and learning?
    After reading this book it is clear to see that education is ever changing and with ever changing technology, teaching has to evolve in order to keep up with the new tools.  However, I do think that all these great technologies are only going to help us teach the next generation of students.  We, as teachers, just need to make sure that we use these technologies to our advantage.  For if we do, our students will enjoy learning and may even understand the concepts better with the presentation of technology.  So as new technology comes around, it is important for teachers to stay up to date with it, allowing us to connect with the material as well as the students.

What will you do differently as a future teacher as a direct result of this new thinking?
    As I start my teaching career, I am going to do my best to stay as up to date with technology as I can.  It is easy to see that the students react better to information that is presented to them by way of technology.  So being able to produce lessons in cool new ways will engage the students and hopefully keep them interested in your subject.
