NJCCS/NETS
I was unaware until recently that technology standards existed. I think the move in the classroom towards technology based lessons and assignments is really the only way for our students to stay on the cutting edge of tomorrow's technology. I would personally like to see certain aspects of these technologies extended to our students at younger ages. Given the current job market and the economic climate we are facing, it is important that our students excel in as many skills as can be made available to them. Furthermore, our students really need to understand where technology is headed. In the last twenty years we have made advances beyond what most thought impossible only a generation ago, and as cliche as it sounds, we really have no limit when it come to educational tools and the future.

How true, Ed!
ReplyDeleteYou claimed, "the current job market and the economic climate we are facing, it is important that our students excel in as many skills as can be made available to them."
As I always say to teachers-- you can fight technology but why would you? Your students need it and by not using it, you are holding them back. As teachers, we should be aware of that.
Thanks for posting!
