How Much School Has Changed!

An Abacus. Wood desks. Different grade levels in one classroom. Discipline in schools. Teaching students how YOU learned! MY... how school has changed. Now everything is about incorporating technology in the classroom. How much technology do we integrate? How much lecture should we still have? Are the students totally bored at lecture? How much homework should a teacher give? Does it depend on the subject matter. Sure school has changed and many have to adapt to that. I love it when I see excitement in the classroom! I love it1 I love it! I would love for all my students to have a netbook in my class. I am incorporating technology head on via utilizing websites that enhance the learning such as Edmodo, Arcademic Skill Builders, Classtools and many more! I heard a teacher say this Saturday that "we dont know what will be coming up next! We have iPhones, iPods, iPads, what could be next? iEar!" Everybody just kinda sat there and thought about what she said. That could be possible! Think of how school will have changed in 5 yrs! 10yrs! It will be phenomenal and all of us can take part in it! Embrace technology and you will be glad you did!
