This weeks discussion surrounding the ways technology has opened my mind to just how much the education system has changed in the last 20 years. Every day new technology is created and the world becomes more accessible from the comfort at home. After class I was left with the anxiety of how to combat new emerging technology that could damper my learners work ethic. Now almost a week later my anxiety has subsided and I now have more of a drive to explore what is becomming accessible to the public. As I continue to explore the large world of new tech my mind has started racing with new ideas for activities to include in the classroom to help learners be better prepared for the future. I hope that as I grow older I’m able to remain technologically literate so that I can guide my students towards using different online tools in ways that will benefit their learning instead of letting them use it as a crutch and developing bad habits. I have no idea how I will work to keep up to date but if you are reading this future me you should communicate with younger teachers about what they are bringing in to the classroom and scaffold with them to come up with activites that could help educaate students on how to use emerging tech. I know you are capable future me, don’t let your anxiety destroy your adaptability. I love you and I’m proud of the person you’ve become.
